Can i eat soft chees triangles???????

[Tiaxx31]

I miss my brussels pate on toast so much, i miss my salad cream and i miss eating prawn cocktails with lettice,tomato & cucumber. So are we allowed to eat cheese triangles? or is that a no no too. All these do'd and don'ts is driving me crazy when i see my friends eating what i want to eat. I've given up smoking at about 6-8 weeks preg when i found out, really couldn't stand the taste or smell, it is disgusting. I know we get told we can't eat brie, i don't like that anyway but i love cheese triangles. I am 17 weeks and in total agony with my back ache, i think it must be a trapped nerve. But this morning i even lost my hearing because of it, midwife said put a hot water bottle there, it did help a bit and she said take paracetomol(i really didn't want to take them)as i'm paranoid. Anybody got any good idea about this pain and cheese triangles allowed?

[Ledodgy]

Yes! Any pasturised cheese is allowed.

Paracetamol are fine.

Have you seen a physio? Here you can self refer to the pregnancy physio at the hospital. I had terrible sciatica when pg and the physio helped enormously.

only cooked shellfisj is ok but i avoided it as it can be dodgy at the best of times

Salad, cooked prawns, lettuce, tomato, cucumber and soft cheese triangles are all fine. There were some question marks about bagged salads but lettuce just needs a good wash.
Salad cream is fine. Only homemade mayo with raw unpateurised egg is a problem.

No, you might grow an extra head

I'm surprised you're not eating prawns, salad cream, lettuce, tomato and cucumber!
They are all perfectly fine!

Paracetamol are also fine.

Where are you getting this information?????

BTW - Most shellfish is advised to avoid but Prawns don't count for some reason I've completely forgotton........

Whatever book you are reading, throw it out before you starve. You have got some bad info there. You can eat any of the things you have listed, and paracetomol is fine.

Fruityandnutty - that link reads to me that cooked shellfish is fine: mussels, scallops, clams, crab.
Just avoid raw which sensible people do anyway as it tastes like snot
