Bought stilton today.. found out i was pregnant half hour later

[mamaLou13]

can i still eat it? Clear blue says 3 weeks +

Maybe just use it in cooking. Or just remind yourself that many don't know this early and eat it :)

yep. Stilton is on the allowable list throughout pregnancy!

I thought stilton was OK as it's classed as a hard cheese. I'm kind of banking on it being OK! I can't give up all cheese!

No i am quite sure stilton was a no no in 2010 anyway when i was pregnant with dd, as it is blue cheese. I am desparate for stilton, acin and mushroom stuffed peppers with steak.

not sure were acin came from there i meant BACON.

Stilton is allowed

Stilton is allowed (as off 2011 I think).

Allowed!! The rules keep changing Congratulations!!!!!

Stilton isn't allowed raw according to my midwife but if you are cooking it as in a stuffed pepper or a soup you will be fine.
And make sure you cook the steak all the way through!

OOOOHH! great! It is silly really how often the rues are changing but i shall stick to the new ones (happily)! Thank you for the congrats!

Stilton is fine!!!!! NHS website says so

'tis a hard cheese.

I eat TONNESSSSSSSS of the stuff....

Pretty sure Stilton is not allowed (at least it wasn't in April 2012 when my family were googling it at the dinner table cause we had a big fat slab of stilton and I was convinced that it was allowed - it wasn't).

You could always cook it and have it will a sauce over your well cooked stake!

Im 10 weeks just recently seen MW and was told all blue cheese inc stilton not allowed unless cooked with , blue cheese quiche ok for example, but its to do with the bacteria which makes it blue and listeria. Its totally up to you though.

I am going to be putting it in a pepper then roasting it in the oven.... Oh crap and i have to have stea well done now!! )o:

Im missing rare steak (i like mine practically with a pulse) smoked salmon parma ham pate, pate, pate, rare lamb, blue and soft cheeses, did i mention pate?? I dont drink often generally,but id love a glass of rose! But for me my pregnancy is so hard won im just sucking it up, DP has been warned to bring me a hamper to hosp tho and my eggs are still dippy!!

and im eating peanut butter right now

Stilton is allowed! I ate a big chunk at a buffet when I thought I might be second time pg last year, but had not done a test. I thought that I might as well since I wouldn't be allowed soon. BFP a few days later, then discovered that Stilton was ok now after all.

There you go. Stilton is fine.

You're allowed rare steak. The harmful bacteria are on the outside and are therefore cooked off when the steak is cooked. As long as its brown on the outside it's fine. Also been told in one of my threads that Stilton is ok, and blue cheese is fine if cooked generally.

Stilton is now ok, as of October-ish last year (dd born in September - cheers NHS!), but the latest advice is to avoid rare meat. They've withdrawn their earlier advice saying it's ok whilst they investigate the possible link with toxo.
