cheesecake?..

[NTMummy059]

Just a quick one really!
Am 18 weeks along and enjoyed a massive slice of cheesecake after dinner tonight - have jutting remembered the food rules and something about certain cheeses?
I read the box and it says made with full fat soft cheese - is this ok or not?
Sorry if its a silly question!
Thanks :)

It's fine. It will be processed cheese such as Philadelphia and that's fine in pregnancy.

Ok thanks - thought it would be but suddenly had a mental block!

It's only cheese that hasn't been pasteurised that you need to avoid. Blue cheeses, goats cheese etc.. If you google it you'll find a list.

God knows we have to deprive ourselves of enough stuff during pregnancy so enjoy that cheesecake! In fact I may hunt down a slice myself today since you've put the idea in my head.

Thanks :) I have stopped googling and started mumsnetting as the advice on here seems alot more straight forward, truthful and doesn't scare me!
Mm cheesecake.. Think I will finish the rest off today :D

mmmm cheesecake :) wee trip to tescos today me thinks!!

You can eat hard blue cheeses safely MammaCi.
NTMummy check out the NHS guidelines.
I want cheesecake now...

damn you and your cheesecake. i havent got any

incidentally, i fancied some ice cream last night so took a walk round and got some tescos lemon cheesecake ice cream. :) omg it was delish!!

Haha sorry for making you all want cheesecake!
I've had to stop watching cookery programmes as I HAD to have what they made but I just couldn't be bothered and it made me sad lol!
Also if someone mentions McDonalds I don't feel content until I've had a cheeseburger Haha

I love cheesecake and i'm nearly 22 weeks, i've been fairly relaxed this time round (dc3) as long as it's pasteurised it's allowed :)

Oh mcdonalds - i don't like their food AT ALL but since being pg again i keep popping in and have on occasion forced dp to drive up and get me a double cheeseburger, mayo chicken, toffee sundae, apple pie, cup of tea, and large fries...

A couple of times i leave the two burgers and just have a huge big mac

Chocolate milkshake.

I made my own the other day:

Good quality ice cream
Banana
Homemade chocolate sauce
A little milk
All whizzed together in the blender... Yum

Homemade chocolate sauce is just cocoa powder, sugar and a little water zapped in the microwave to get rid of the graininess.

I've just thought of banoffee pie. If only it was possible.

Sounds amazing! Hmm think I want McDonalds now and a homemade milkshake made by DP after ;) hehe thanks everyone!

I've just had a homemade creme egg milkshake. Creme egg, vanilla icecream and milk blended. Lush.

www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/2683.aspx?CategoryID=54&SubCategoryID=216 YAAAAY! I can eat brie and blue cheese, provided it's cooked first. So sayeth the NHS. This thread got me thinking about it so I went on a rummage for advice.

Oh i love stilton but have been avoiding it! If NHS says it's fine I'll be having some :) thanks squizita
viva that sounds yummy.. Think il be having lots of ice cream and milkshakes as will be heavily pregnant in summer! Will look up some more ideas ;)

I'm having cheesecake for breakfast. The baby made me do it!

mamma that milkshake sounds AWESOME!! im gona have to try that today.

early on in my pg i was wanting mccyd's when feeling really sick and was only thing that i could eat and not feel sick or be sick after.

I'm 23 weeks and previously lived cheesecake, however baby hates all things sweet, and after seeing cheesecake in reverse in the carpark of a restaurant, I am doubtful I will ever eat it again. Makes me heave even looking at it in shops.

Loved stupid phone

Does mozzarella count as soft cheese? Would that mean you can't have pizza?!?!

Ahh i don't even know?! Although I've eaten ALOT of pizza :/

NO!!

Oh that's a relief. Does that include buffalo mozzarella then? Have i been avoiding that for no reason? I am a massive caprese salad fiend xxxx
