Forbidden pregnancy foods.

Runny cheese (drool). dh brought me some after dd was born, I would have kissed him if I hadn't been quite so busy eating Stinking Bishop...cheese vouchers for Neal's Yard

What a great idea and one that you could easily do for yourself. My bestie sent me a bottle of gin after DS3 was born.....:-)

lovely product value for money

Will always be a winner!

yummmmmmy,
Cheese's + Booze

i got a hamper which included some of these foods, and i cried i was so touched by the thoughtfulness!

A jar of honey would have been good too. It was the first thing I put in the trolley

Best present I got was 6 mini bottles of champagne. Enough for a glass after DS went to bed and much better than opening a big bottle and wasting it! I also couldn't manage more than 1 glass because after 9 months' abstinance I'd turned into a total lightweight!

Runny cheese (drool). dh brought me some after dd was born, I would have kissed him if I hadn't been quite so busy eating Stinking Bishop...cheese vouchers for Neal's Yard are always a winner if you aren't seeing the new mum in person.

what a great hamper, not just yummy but good for you also, the first thing i do after giving birth is eat and salmon is my fave,
i love this treat

Its great gift to receive after months of pregnancy. I loved to eat and taste everything in them early days. Every mum will be delighted to receive hamper like this. Definately tastiest gift.:)

Fantastic in the early days, but I think I appreciated it even more when I sadly miscarried. I was so grateful to the friend who turned up with all the forbidden foods.

all the foods i missed for 9 months. almost looking forward to getting pregnant again

Wonderful gift - so exciting to be able to tuck into everything you have been missing for months. Was one of my fave presents.

A good friend put together a little basket of delicious goodies for me after DS2 was born. One of the most thoughtful (and useful) presents I've ever had.

fab idea.. a great pressie - i would be happy to receive it! one of my best gifts when i had my DS was a huge pack of peanuts & very luxurious bubble bath to loll in while i ate them... yum!

got to agree this is a brill idea! all i seemed to crave when i was preg were things i couldn't have!!
but there are some foods your not supposed to eat while breastfeeding also i think?

This is one of the best gifts I've ever received, such a thoughtful one because there's nothing a pregnant lady craves more than the foods that she can't have - I really enjoyed the pate and the goats cheese most of all, they're my absolute favourites. If you want to give a really special gift just for the new mum - this is it!

This is a really thoughtful gift, and is guaranteed to make the recipient smile.
Obviously, find out if your friend is vegetarian or vegan before including pate or gooey blue cheese.
There are many things you're meant to avoid during pregnancy that are lovely luxury items.
What about 'banned' essential oils, or quality chsmpagne.

A lovely gift of all the things you've been missing for months. It's such a different sort of gift for a new mum (even third time round!) - thank you to my friend for sending it!

I was very impressed when I was given this gift. It wasn't the prettiest gift but was definately the most tasty!
I forgot how much I missed Pate, soft cheeses, seafood etc etc.

A brilliant idea although as the first review said it is worth checking if you are breastfeeding.

The best present I received after giving birth was a hamper of all the foods I couldn't eat whilst pregnant; smoked salmon, salami, pate, wine, cured meats, runny cheese etc, and some bread and biscuits to go with. It meant we didn't have to cook that night too!
You may want to consult your midwife or health visitor if breastfeeding though.
