Oh dear

I am not as anal up to speed on what I can and cannot eat this pregnancy as I was with dc1. despite the fact it was only 2 years ago

I had pasta with a blue cheese sauce last week.

Currently in Spain, and scoffed some salami and other cured meat.

Silly, I know :( tell me I've not just given the baby a second head? Am nearly 11 weeks.

It's all about listeria with those ones and I would guess that you seem to be well so far, with no signs of food poisoning, you're probably fine!!

It's only a small risk, but apparently that is a bacteria that crosses the placenta, so that's why everyone is told to avoid, as the very, very rare chance of you getting it could have serious consequences. Chances are very high that you (& baby) will be absolutely ok. :)

I did the same thing in my first pregnancy -ironically also in Spain. I was out for Tapas with colleagues and everything on the menu seemed to involve cured meat and / or unpasturised cheese! DS is fine and I am sure your baby will be, too, especially as you are not ill yourself.

I got my BFP

Hey LimeLeaf!! Congrats!! I just saw your name & thought 'does that mean...?'. So happy it happened for you. :)

Sorry OP, hijacked your thread

bought some brocolli and stilton soup today my reasoning is 3% cant do anything and if it does il sue tesco :-D

Salami, parma ham etc now fine anyway, and blue cheese etc. fine as long as it's cooked.

Stilton is off the forbidden list now! And it's fine raw or cooked :) blue cheese if it 's cooked should be ok.
