According to this site, salmonella will not directly harm the fetus, although it's best to stay away from raw or undercooked meats: http://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/nu...

I'll see if I can find some more information for you.

This site says the same thing - that there's likely no risk to the fetus: http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/healthy_livi...

The real risk lies with toxoplasmosis and listeriosis, which are both described in that second link.
