Cold food

Can we eat cold food during pregnancy? As in good stored in the fridge and took it out to eat without heating up. Would there be any harmful effects on the baby?

From TCM's point of view, even a person who is not pregnant should avoid cold food. Let it gain heat (not necessary to heat up, ie gain heat naturally) for a while or till room temperature then consume it. Please avoid raw or not fully cooked food.
