I have a handout from my midwife (in the bounty pack) which lists all the foods to be avoided by pregnant women, and includes 'cold cooked meat' like pre packed ham. Avoiding this isn't mentioned in any of my other books/leaflets etc - is it just an old handout or is ham, cold meat etc best avoided? Also it says no prepaked salads, does that include ready made sandwiches from boots etc? Thanks!

Didn't mean to put anyone off their ham sandwich, sorry! It does seem madly over cautious to me because what are you supposed to eat when you go out? Everything has salad/mayonnaise/ham/chicken in! As it's not in my NHS book i didn't think it would be that serious. I may have a sausage roll to celebrate, or i may get too nervous!
