Ah yummy

For me it was Brie and grapes on crusty bread. mmmmm

PartOfTheHumphreysGroup · 18/11/2009 15:00

yeah, I think that's a bit silly personally. The risks are low but it's an unecessary risk.

BitOfFun · 18/11/2009 15:00

I liked my gin, personally

theowlwhowasafraidofthedark · 18/11/2009 15:01

Not unreasonable imho - but people will judge you...

When I was preggers all that stuff wasn't fashionable/hadn't been invented.

I'd hate to be pregnant now with all these rules and regulations.

Oooh I missed dippy eggs then I found some on hols in Devon that were from chickens vacinated against salmonella (or some such nonsense) and was in heaven again.

I craved cider with DS2 - weird as I normally hate apple juice let alone cider. Enjoy but I would just make sure that it is well in date and from a reputable source

Scorps · 18/11/2009 15:04

Another 'look at me see how risqué I am' thread, about your precious baby.

I'd rather be entirely boring, thanks.

BitOfFun · 18/11/2009 15:05

Or subway sandwiches

ChristmasMoon · 18/11/2009 15:05

It was six years ago lula, was it the same then? If so why didn't they just tell me that and put me out of my misery??!

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 18/11/2009 15:06

Leave the woman alone.

I assume you never left the house when pregnant with your precious baby, surely the risks of getting mown down by a bus are higher

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 18/11/2009 15:06

Oh god even the smell of subway makes me retch

Scorps · 18/11/2009 15:07

I'm pregnant and will do what I like, and vice versa. Different people and their experiences, I think.

I had a serious pineapple addiction too, I'd eat them until my lips stung.

And laughed at a concerned friend who told me I'd induce early labour.

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 18/11/2009 15:08

YABU, not worth the risk.

I craved blue cheese all the way through pregnancy. So I grilled it on toast, and made lots of stilton sauces (all cooked)

It's not about food poisoning, it's about listeria.

But for either as long as everything is cooked thoroughly it is safe.

ChristmasMoon · 18/11/2009 15:08

bastards!

kidcreoleandthecoconuts · 18/11/2009 15:09

Scorps - That wasn't the intention at all. I wasn't saying look at me putting my baby's life at risk at all.
Just highlighting that as a pregnant woman everything seems out of bounds nowadays.
I don't drink.
I don't smoke.
I don't take drugs.

I've had some blue cheese...so shoot me.

tis ludicrous not too imo

ChristmasMoon · 18/11/2009 15:09

I also remember my sister being absolutley appalled at me putting raspberry jam on my toast. She had got it mixed up with raspberry leaf

BitOfFun · 18/11/2009 15:09

This is all going to go a bit judgeypants now.

YouKnowNothingoftheCrunch · 18/11/2009 15:10

TDWP - I think you have to eat about 50 (whole pineapples) to even "maybe" risk induction
