Champagne and eggnog are holiday favorites, but if you're pregnant, those two drinks are on the top of the list of drinks you should avoid.
Homemade eggnog tops the list because it contains raw eggs, which carry the risk of getting you and your baby sick with salmonella.
That eggnog is especially bad if your party host decides to mix it with alcohol.
Store-bought eggnog is fine as it is pasteurized and poses little risk.
Nonalcoholic champagne is drinkable, but it is not known for sure how much even the smallest amount of alcohol can affect a pregnancy, so steer clear of it entirely.
