You CAN eat Stilton when pregnant!

[Longfufu]

Just check on NHS website what cheese us pregnant ladies can and can't eat. For some reason I thought Stilton was a no no, but I'm wrong! hurrah!

Think it must be a recent change as I just found out too. Been eating far too much of it this Christmas

Yeah must be recent as I'm sure with DS1 I couldn't have it. Happy Days :)

Thankyou Longfufu that was a very well timed post.

Daaaaaamn, only just spotted this and just passed on our cheese board. Bugger.

Any idea if dolcelate is also ok then?

I am pretty sure dolcelate is a no as it's a soft cheese (Stilton ok as hard). Although dolcelate cooked properly should be ok.

I think it's soft cheeses with a mould rind like goats cheese or bree, not all soft cheese

Mmm I thoroughly enjoyed my Stilton this evening!
