why wouldn't you? I'm sure it's fine. It's tuna they're worried about because of pos mercury. I always buy organic though but that bit's up to you.

WideWebWitch · 22/12/2004 13:21

the uk food standards agency says it's ok too!

PamiNativity · 22/12/2004 13:22

Scoffed loads of it during first 2 pregnancies and both dds were fine. Looking forward to scoffing loads more over Christmas (pregnant again!)

its shell fish you should avoid im sure of it and soft cheese like bree sure your safe if you contact the midwives im sure they will tell you and put your mind at rest....if you can eat it...
enjoy it happy christmas

WideWebWitch · 22/12/2004 13:25

Even soft cheese is ok if it's cooked. And although it's not ideal or pleasant, it's not always life threatening to get these things: I had salmonella while pregnant with dd and she's fine.

I've been eating loads of smoked salmon. I think we are supposed to avoid unpasturised cheeses and cheeses with mould (blue cheeses) as the mould contains toxins, shell fish and undercooked food. At least that's all I've been doing.

Smoked salmon was my one and only pregnancy craving. I ate a pack of it every day. The only harm it did was to my bank balance

orangina · 22/12/2004 20:06

I thought shell fish was ok, as long as it was cooked? I've eaten quite a few prawns during this pg.... SMoked salmon definitely ok, and I think even raw/under cooked eggs if they have the lion stamp on them (from certified listeria free hens?)... enjoy christmas!

Kaysleighbells · 22/12/2004 20:09

If smoked salmon had been banned during pregnancy i doubt i would have had children

blossom2 · 22/12/2004 20:11

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I love th stuff but read somewhere it was considered the same as raw meat!!!

i can now pig out!!!

Kaysleighbells · 22/12/2004 20:13

Enjoy

hoxtonturkey · 22/12/2004 20:21

the only things i'm not eating this pg are soft/blue cheese, pate & tuna. but actually, i don't like any of them.... definitely eating smoked salmon, prawns, ready-prepared salad & nuts. ok so far.
