Sorry Layla, didn't mean to give you a scare or anything. I don't know a 100% if you're not supposed to, but technically it's raw fish, so I've just stayed away.

[h2]Can I eat cold meats and smoked salmon when I'm pregnant?[/h2]
Some countries advise pregnant women not to eat cold meats or smoked fish because of the risk of listeria. In the UK, we don't advise women to avoid these products because the risk is very low. The risk of listeria is much higher with soft mould-ripened cheeses (such as Brie and Camembert) or pâté, which you shouldn't eat during pregnancy. However, if you are concerned, you might also choose to avoid cold meats and smoked fish while you are pregnant.
------------------------
When you're pregnant, you should generally avoid having more than two portions of oily fish a week, such as salmon, trout, mackerel and herring, because it can contain pollutants such as dioxins and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls).

I'm guessing your not eatting it by truck load layla?

First thing I'll do that I've not been able to in pregnancy is enjoy a large glass of red wine without guilt! Then I think I'll go for lunch at a lovely place that does goats cheese!

Regarding the smoked salmon, I was advised by my friend who is a midwife and my normal midwife not to eat smoked salmon as it's raw and the smoking will not kill any bacteria on the fish. That said the information surrounding it is conflicting - some websites say not to eat it and others say its ok so if you've not suffered any ill effects from it and are happy to carry on then I'd say you're ok!

Isn't there some places that recommend the odd glass of red?
