I'm 5 weeks pregnant with my second and should remember this from first time round. What can't we eat? Is it soft cheeses, goats cheeses, anything else out of bounds? Shellfish? Ta. Need to dig my pregnancy book out again but we are in the middle of a moving!

the nhs website says what u aren't allowed to eat XX oh and congrats on the pregnancy! XX
- liver
- pate
- soft cheese / blue vein cheese
- no soft eggs (though this one's debatable)
- no rare meat
- no swordfish or shellfish
- limit tuna to 2 cans a week
emmm think that's all but someone else might know of a few I've forgot xx
and the rest is as the other ladies say -no soft cheese, ie brie, camambert, no mould ripened cheese, ie stilton, but cheddar, emmental, mozzerella, paramsan, feta, cheese spread, ie philly, are all fine...no pat????, be it liver (and no other form of liver either) or vegetable, no runny/soft/sunny side up eggs (shop bought mayo, icecream etc is fine, but homemade is a no no), limit ur tuna intake, limit ur caffeine intake...
just make sure as well that everything u eat is fresh and within use by dates...also be wary of pre packed salads or salad bars (i got food poisoning at 5weeks pregnant from the salad bar at a well known 'restaurant/pub' chain)
also, remember, these things aren't restricted because day to day they're risky but because when ur pregnant ur immune system is lower so ur more susceptible to nasties, so i can never understand the train of thought that is 'well i've never had salmonella before so i'll continue to eat dippy egg' as its not the same, ur more likely to get it when pregnant, the risk is higher, iyswim?
oh, and congratz! xx 29+0
I thought I was allowed to eat goats cheese? I certainly have been. Oops.
Salks, sounds like goats cheese is fine as long as pasterised! I do love shellfish so good to know can still have it in curries etc!
