Cannot eat all the things I love.........................................

Hi - is anyone having a hard time in their pregnancy ?? I am 13 weeks pregnant and after having DD1 I have continued to read books that say I cannot eat peanuts, liver, pate, strong cheeses, shell fish etc and I am well down in the dumps and absolutely craving for them all !!! NOW !!!!!

My lovely lovely midwife told me about these foods, and of the tiny risk of listeria. She said it was unlikely, and if I craved any of those foods, to buy them pre-packed and dated from a supermarket - never the Deli section and be scrupulous about throwing them out past their sell by date (hey, they never got chance to get close to it, but thats another story!)

Of course she did say that the risk is still there, but is was a very small risk. I had a huge thing for prawn cocktail sandwiches, and oh, the brie and stilton on crackers that were consumed....

I did hold back on the pate though (due to the liver vitamin A thing). I read that an excess is contrbutory to heart disease and as my partner has congenital HD thought I had better go easy on that.

Nemo + Munz - you can have Twisters - it is only Mr Whippy ice cream you can't !!!! I am eating ice lollies all the time !!! Don;t start panicking me now !!!
