July Jelly Beans!! 2014!

I was ridiculously strict first pregnancy and I will be this one too. I've swapped to decaf tea aswell.

I can eat cheesecake can't i?
 
Cheesecake is fine :happydance:

Runny egg is the only thing I will allow myself, everything else I stick to the rules. I have cut out caffeine completely apart from the odd chocolate bar, my meat is always cooked through and I've never liked mould ripened cheese anyway :thumbup:
 
I've read different things on caffeine with regards to tea. According to NHS site stick to a max of 200mg a day and an average tea has 75mg. So that's basically 2 and a half cups of tea. I do love a brew in the morning, but I'll cut down to two.

What about branded mayo? x
 
My doctor said branded Mayo is fine. It's just unpasteurised eggs eg homemade mayo that you can't eat.
 
Cool :)

As for pate, sushi, mouldy cheese. I don't eat any of it haha x
 
Can't decide if I am mad or just plain stupid. Just booked tickets and a hotel to take my two girls to go see Katy Perry at the end of May, I'll be 33 weeks pregnant. I went to see FOB at 34 weeks pregnant with my youngest and I was ok so I think it would be fine, it's not stupidly far from home just in case, only in Sheffield so 30 miles from here.
 
I just bought tickets this morning, to Eminem for hubby and i for the 26th February.
1st time he is coming to South Africa. My hubby is so very excited....
 
I have switched to decaf tea and honestly don't notice any difference at all.

I have been missing a nice runny egg though!

Yes I've read that not only are most chicken immunized against salmonella in the UK, but most eggs are also pasteurized - and in that case dippy eggs are fine.

For me personally as a FTM I feel aversions to most things I've read that I can't eat. I don't know if that's psychological down to fear, or natural. Either way I am erring on the side of safe rather than sorry - while also appreciating that Mothers before us have ate soft cheeses, ate raw meat, drank alcohol and still had healthy babies. I just find the things I have to cut out a small sacrifice to have better peace of mind. I entirely respect it's a personal decision. My Italian friend used to have a small beer every weekend while pregnant and had a beautiful and healthy baby last year. She was incredibly relaxed throughout the pregnancy, and her baby is too. But that doesn't mean I'll do the same myself. :)
 
Good news ladies, had my early scan today and baby was tucked up all nice and snug, measuring slightly behind on dates but nothing to be concerned by, and a lovely little heart going flicker flicker flicker :)

I don't really like runny eggs so I don't miss them. I miss Pate though, which is weird because I can go months and months and MONTHS without having it, and now I can't have it, I want it, lol. I love love LOVE tea, but as with my previous pregnancy, I've completely gone off it, which sucks because I think 'I really REALLY want a cup of tea' but then actually, I really don't, lol.
 
Excellent sunflower! So happy to hear all is well!

I still eat dippy eggs, decaf tea but the only thing I won't is soft cheese like Brie and I do love a mouldy cheese!! But I won't :( I still have steak medium rare. I was really strict with first pregnancy and now I'm the complete opposite. I don't tempt date but I think practically.

Wonderful news hun xx


I have switched to decaf coffee already and its ok, but not quite the same. The thing i will miss is a medium/rare steak... Will be my 1st meal when out of hospital :thumbup:

Is anyone else already thinking of names? Our boys name is set and has been for ages ( Ryan :cloud9: ) But i like so many girls names :dohh: x

Sunflower, this is amazing news!!!!:happydance: My last pregnancy was ectopic so I am very excited for December 5th to confirm that this one is not! :wacko:
 
Georgia Charlotte Emelia for a girl, and either Kesler Benjamin Silas or Kesler Benjamin Levi for a boy.

I got my 3+ on my digi 5 minutes ago. It's 11:30am and probably 8th morning urine. :happydance:
