    Though i would prob be a no as its soft and don't really want to take any chances this time.

    Had 2 m/c this year.

    Prob go for something else instead.

    Its a sweet desert cheese, you deffo can have it. Its only if its a mouldy cheese like stilton or camemberg you cant have it. Most soft cheeses are fine its no different from eating philidelphia.

    Hi, I was a bit concerned by babydevils' advice that 'most soft cheeses are fine' - Philadelphia can be eaten during preganancy due to this info from their website:
    "I am pregnant can I eat Philadelphia?
    Philadelphia is a pasteurised product. Pregnant women are advised not to eat un-pasteurised cheese."
    You shouldn't eat Brie, Roule, Camembert & many other lovely soft cheeses if they are not pasteurised.
    Check out http://se.babycenter.com/pregnancy/nutrition/foodsafety/cheeseexpert
    for more info - it lists them all. If in doubt don't eat it!
    Hope this helps!
