Curvy ladies

Ooooh Rach that lunch sounds nice, I love scampi and gnocci -never thought of having them together tho! Lol, maybe a little wierd, pregnancy craving. The other day me and Hols had homemade burger (in a bun) with mash! Cos i really wanted mash and I didn't really care that it didn't go with our burgers. I'm making homemade pizza for tea, yummy.

Don't feel guilty about the wine, i know what you mean, but it says in my NHS book that 1-2 units once or twice a week is ok, so I'm having a little when i feel like it. I can't wait to get back to my 'usual' self after bubs is born, I love a drink me.

Han Xxx
 
LOL Han, thats not a weird pregnancy craving at all. Scampi and gnocchi is just like having scampi with a pasta in sauce, its amazing. I often cook fish with rice or pasta or Ill do new potatoes and veg. Its just the same. We cook a lot of foreign food and I make ALL my own sauces, curry, chilli, pasta sauce etc from scratch. x
 
Cranberry you have a nursing chair, you lucky sod lol.

£10 off ebay!

Just got a moses basket for £2 too, went to a rubbish nct sale so it all evens out. Nothing was organised, it was just like a carboot sale. Grr.
 
I've discovered that as long as the cheese is pasturised you can have brie and blue cheese - great stuff! Wish it hadn't taken me until now to find out!

Id check on that tbh. I dont think its the fact that its pasturised - 99% of brie is pasturised after all. Its the mould on the outside. Same with blue cheese, the blue bit is mould so theres a risk of listeria. That being said, French women eat cheese like that all through their pregnancy and you dont see them all being stuck down with listeria.
 
Here's my bump pic. I look pretty big tbh but I think it's just the dress

BLOODY HELL £10 !!! Youre on a roll with the bargains! :)

Id check the cheese thing out too as I love blue and brie but the midwife was dead set no no on that one. I totally get annoyed that they say we cant eat stuff though, millions of women aint so fussy all over the world and are fine, its us US and UK panickers!

I love your bump pic, I 'liked' it and your dress on fb :)

Ive just realised my baby is growing hair according to my signature awwwwww.......
 
Ooops, well yes I must admit I did think i wasn't able to eat brie and blue cheese but yesterday the manager of the cheese counter in Booths said that all his information says that cheese is ok as long as it is pasturised!! And just to be sure I checked quickly on my phone on this site:

https://www.webmd.com/baby/news/20031105/pasteurized-soft-cheese-ok-in-pregnancy

But I've just looked now and others say you shouldn't eat them even if they are pasturised! So annoying to get conflicting info all the time. For example i've been eating feta, well one site said you can't eat feta! First i've heard?

Oh well, I'm not gonna get too worried about it. Maybe I should avoid whats left! Really enjoyed it tho!

Han Xxx

P.S Cranberry lovely bumpy pic by the way, coming along nice Xxx

P.P.S Whats for lunch then? I'm hungry, Mark says don't go here:

Eat whats left Han, Im sick of worrying about what I can and cant eat. I might as well live on potatoes and bread!

My pg books and my mw said its ok to eat feta and I have been. I just check its paturised and is cows milk feta.

Tbh I wouldn't trust someone who's trying to sell you anything. I didn't know that about feta tho. I've eaten loads! There's no mould on it. Any idea why it's out?
 
As far as I was aware you CAN eat feta, I love it.

I go on Bored.com, its amusing. Also, https://www.lamebook.com/. I once lived near a Chinese called Ocean take away that got closed down for stealing local cats !!!



I found this which is the usual blah but says feta is fine YAY for cooked blue cheese and feta.....

You can eat some cheeses when you're pregnant, and cheese is great source of calcium. However, some cheeses are not safe to eat. Unsafe cheeses are more likely to grow bacteria such as listeria, which can harm your unborn baby.

These cheeses are not safe for you while you're pregnant:
Soft, mould-ripened cheeses, such as brie, camembert and chevre (a type of goat's cheese).

Blue-veined cheeses, such as danish blue and stilton.
Even if these cheeses are pasteurised, they still aren't safe to eat. That's because they are more moist and less acidic than other cheeses. It's this moistness and acidity which provide the perfect environment for listeria bacteria to grow.


If you become infected with listeria, you can get an illness called listeriosis. This causes flu-like symptoms that develop several weeks after you've been exposed to the bacteria. Even though listeriosis a fairly mild illness for you, it can cause serious health problems for your baby. It can even lead to miscarriage, or the loss of a baby at birth.

However, you can eat these cheeses if you cook them thoroughly, as this will kill any listeria. Just make sure you've cooked the cheese until it's piping hot all the way through, and it hasn't just melted.

All hard cheeses are generally considered safe to eat, even if they are made with unpasteurised milk. There is only a very small amount of listeria bacteria in hard cheeses so they are not considered a risk during pregnancy.

Here's a guide to which cheeses are safe and which are unsafe during pregnancy:

Safe cheeses in pregnancy
Hard cheeses: smoked versions, caerphilly, cheddar, cheshire, derby, double gloucester, edam, emmental, English goat's cheddar, feta, gouda, gruyere, halloumi, havarti, jarlsberg, lancashire, manchego, orkney, paneer, parmesan, pecorino (hard), provolone, red leicester.

Soft, processed cheeses: garlic and herb roulade, cottage cheese, cream cheese, feta, goat's cheese without a white rind, mascarpone, mozzarella, processed cheese (such as cheese spread and cheese segments), quark, ricotta.

Yoghurts, probiotic drinks, fromage frais, soured cream and creme fraiche are all safe to eat. These include any variety, including natural, flavoured and live versions.


Unsafe cheeses in pregnancy
Mould-ripened soft cheeses: brie, blue brie, cambozola, camembert, chaumes, chevre (goat's cheese with a white rind), pont l'eveque, taleggio, vacherin-fribourgeois.

Blue-veined cheeses: bergader, bleu d'auvergne, blue wensleydale, shropshire blue, danish blue, dolcelatte, gorgonzola, roncal, roquefort, stilton, tomme.

Soft, unpasteurised cheese, including goat's and sheep's cheeses: chabichou, pyramide, torta del cesar.
 
Thanks girls, Rachel thats the info I first read, and like I said i was surprised but then cos I read the back up info on that site i thought it'd be ok! Nevermind, I'm sure I'll be ok, lets hope anyway. I'll avoid from now. Guess I must just have been in the mood yesterday to go - yeh f*** it, sure it'll be fine. Sometimes the food list really gets me down.

I can't wait for pate on toast at Xmas! And wine! Lots of it!

Sorry to scare you Cranberry, feta looks ok again! Lol Xxx
 
Oooooh. I rly wanted some pate earlier. Even veggie is out I read. Dunno why as I thought it was the iron in the liver
 
My MW told me to buy canned/tinned pate. Ive never even seen any but apparently you CAN have that. Im guessing its just like beef spread which Ive been eating on cracker wheat instead and its just like pate but safe LOL

Heres a question.....can we eat caviar?
xx
 
Well I made some chickpea burgers the other day - chickpeas, kidney beans, carrots, tahini etc etc, they went a bit floppy so with the left overs I mushed them up and made them into a pate style thing - was yummy on toast! Guess thats allowed? Xxx

P.s Eughhh caviar, I don't fancy that.

I've made healthy oven chips for my lunch, just can't be bothered and I've not got a lot in! X
 
I'm gonna check the veggie pate thing at my 16w. Cba to ring and call as they take years to reply. Mushroom yeast pate tho. Mmmmm

Dunno about caviar. Don't see why not if that floats your boat. Even if it's high in mercury not like you're gonna eat a bucket full
 
Han, they sound 'lish.

I love Ryvita, philladelphia and caviar on top OMG its yummyyyy.

Ill be having salad for tea covered in salt (which Im still craving!) and balsamic dressing probably with cheese or tuna. Or I might just put a cheese and tom pizza in the oven which is really naughty but nice.
