Update on Smoked Salmon
I thought you could not eat this if pregnant but I have just read a birth story on home births and the lady had smoked salmon for lunch prior to giving birth, any suggestions please.
Also I have boiled egg for breakfast once a week, is this allowed or not.
Update found this quote on a website, does it mean you can eat prepacked smoked salmon, thats what I get, I put some in freezer because I thought I could not eat it.

Hi everyone and thanks for your advise, just to let you know that I had a hard boiled egg yesterday, it was ok but no where as nice as a runny egg, oh damm.
Have decided by most of your good advise to eat my smoked salmon, only got a small bit, going to have it today for my lunch with a bit of lemon juice, yummy!

Eggs are fine if they are well cooked (solid), I miss runny eggs!!!
My midwife told me to use the Food Standards Agency guidelines. No mention of smoked salmon in there. Google it, there are lots of different guides, I have to admit to still eating it as I did read that British smoked salmon is okay as the risk of getting sick from it now is a lot less than it was.
Hope that helps xx
boiled eggs are fine as long as they are not runny, same with any eggs, if tyhe yolk is runny essentially it is raw. any type of eggs is fine to eat as long as it is well cooked.

I have had a few nuts etc recently so hope its all ok!
regarding nuts, you shld be fine, nuts are actually a good source of omega 3 which is vital for baby's brain development, u only need to avoid PEANUTS if either u or ur partner suffer from, asthma, eczema or food/nut allergies and intolerances, if neither of u suffer from any of these then ur safe to eat peanuts too.

Rant over-everyone I've asked/books read say smoked salmon fine although need to keep intake low as its oily fish. Eggs-need to be fully cooked. Also check out eggs as ingredient on things eg mousses and be careful of anythng homemade
