French insight and secrets for your lifestyle
Moving to France I heard a variety of bizarre claims about how French women don’t follow the basic dietary laws of pregnancy known to all Anglophone women:
So I have been very curious to find out whether French women follow different guidelines, and whether these statements are true or not. I’ll start by addressing these claims and finish with French lifestyle tips for staying healthy throughout pregnancy.
Sorry ladies, but at least among the locals I know, French women do indeed avoid alcohol, improperly cooked food (cheese, meat, fish), and moderate their caffeine intake. They crave sushi, wine, and brie for 9 months, just like the rest of us deprived English-speaking pregnant folk.
There are some nuances to the guidelines that they know about that many Americans may not. For example, local cheese experts will advise you that only unpasteurized soft cheeses are risky, whereas the hard cheeses of any kind are acceptable. Sometimes a cheese itself can be safe, but the rind (the rigid material surrounding the cheese) may be contaminated. If you walk into a reputable fromagerie (artisanal cheese store), the vendor should be able to tell you which individual cheeses are safe choices.
Also some women are exempt from avoiding undercooked meat, and French women are more likely to fall under into this group. The reason behind consuming only well cooked meat is to avoid a toxoplasmosis infection. Although toxoplasmosis is a mild infection in healthy adults, this tiny organism can cause catastrophic effects on the developing fetus if the mother gets infected during pregnancy. However, if a woman contracted the infection before pregnancy, there is no increased risk to the child. Since French and European women eat more raw meats in their diet they may be less susceptible to the dangers of toxoplasmosis during pregnancy because they are more likely to have already had the disease. While only 10-20% of women are immune to toxoplasmosis in the United States, some 40-60% of French women are immune, and may therefore enjoy their filet mignon medium-rare. As a family member in Belgium explained to me, “I am already toxoplasmosis positive, therefore I don’t worry about raw meat.”
The only French women that seem to resist modern medical prenatal dietary recommendations are women of the older generation. “Well when I was pregnant I didn’t know about these dangers, and my kids came out fine!” And on the subject of foie gras, “mais il faut vivre!” (you must live a little!) But of the people I know, who are admittedly quite well educated and recently mothers, all followed the rules carefully, and my doctor grilled me for the first few visits to make sure I understood all the recommendations.
One of the biggest myths I’ve heard is that French women are told to follow different pregnancy weight gain guidelines. In actuality, the recommendations are the same: French doctors recommend a net gain of 12 – 15 kg during pregnancy, which corresponds to about 26 – 33 lbs. The real difference is that French women actually tend to stay within or below these limits, and therefore gain less than their American counterparts.

This brings me to something the French are doing much better than the Americans: they are fantastic at controlling their diet and weight gain throughout pregnancy. What are their secrets??
The French pregnancy mantra is on n’a pas à manger deux fois plus! This means, don’t eat for two! Dietary advice is publicly made available by the government for all pregnant women with very practical and specific advice. Here are some eating hacks I’ve stolen from the French so you can achieve your belly-only pregnancy!
The government even gives specific examples of acceptable snacks that I find hilariously French:
I’d be fascinated to see the full guide. I’m amaerican but lived in France for several years. I *asked* for a toxoplasmosis test and came up positive for prior exposure (but not current, of course) and still I’m being told to ‘enjoy’ my meat well done. I’m 8 weeks along and would like a cross cultural perspective. Thanks!
Hi Brooke! Thank you for your comment. I'm linking the mangerbouger page for pregnancy here. There is a little blurb on toxoplasmosis with this link. I hope this helps!
Thanks for sharing these specific meal examples - I find it really amazing that there is very little carb (e.g. open faced tuna sandwich) included in this diet.
I’ve lived inFrance, gotten my masters in French literature, lives with a French family here in the states and I’m a mom of three. I agree with everything you’ve shared here and honestly I think French women have much healthier pregnancies and attitudes toward pregnancy than we Americans do.
