      The blue lines in cheese is a mould called listeria. Its too strong for the fetus to break down into harmless matter.

      Personally I don't appreciate it that this question received a thumbs down coming from a male. If anything you should have just respected the answer in general because being a woman we are very aware of the reasons why women should not eat cheese and my answer as well as the one under mine were both correct when relating to that of an unborn child. You should probably research your question more carefully before being so judgemental about an answer.

        Like most cheeses in general it raises their cholestrol levels and could cause harding of the arteries while pregnant.  Also cuts off the circulatory glands that lead to the oxygen levels through the blood stream that the child needs most urgently while being carried in its Mother's womb.

        Hardening of the arteries takes many years to develop not just over the period of pregnancy,there is no cirulatory glands, oxygen is put in to blood stream by tiny sacs known as alveoli. Eating cheese does not effect their opperation.
