Hi Emily

Was just passing.... If you go to the food standards agency web site http://www.food.gov.uk/ and type in pregnancy on the search bar it will give you loads of articles and info about what foods are safe and not.

Hi Em
This is not a definitive list and I mainly wanted to reply to say hi and that you remain in my thoughts.

Avoid any undercooked or raw eggs (so no unpasturized mayo or quiche) and meat.
Avoid, pate and any mouldy cheeses - stilton but also brie camembert and some kinds of mozeralla
Avoid smoking and alcohol
I was advised to avoid seafood such as prawns unless I knew where they had come from
some people also advise to avoid nuts (but others say only if your family has a history of allergies)

They are all the ones I can think of
Take good care

Hi

Just a quick question, why should you avoid sweetners?  I've never seen/heard of this before and wondered if anyone knew of this.

Thanks

Claire
