I'm pregnant - can I eat Burger?

aka Hamburger, Cheeseburger

Yes
Burgers are safe to eat, but as with all meat ensure that they are cooked thoroughly, so there is no pink, and juices run clear. Observer good hygiene in keeping raw meat away from other food, and wash all surfaces and utensils. Ensure any extras such as cheese or mayonnaise are safe to eat too.
