I pretty much eat what I want. I do stay away from fried eggs with runny yolk in the middle (which I miss terribly). I don't like tuna or the fish they tell you to stay away from so that part is easy for me. I still eat deli meat, packaged, from the deli, and I love Subway. During the 1st trimester I stayed away from caffeine, I could only drink Sprite (only thing that calmed my belly). I never used to drink much pop pre-pregnancy but the 2nd trimester I couldn't put it down for awhile, so I put it down and started drinking juice.

There are so many things that they tell pregnant women to stay away from, if we did, then we would starve. Just think, how did our moms make it when they were pregnant with us? Just take things in moderation and you will be fine. Of course, if you're really not sure, ask your doctor.

Is tuna ok in small amounts? I'm veggie and so protein is an issue for me so I probably have tuna once a week at the most.

Also I heard blue veined cheeses were out.

Thanks for the replies girls.

AnneMarie - I'm with you, dippy eggs, runny eggs and toasted soldiers mmmmm, bacon and runny egg butty, mmmmm. Oh stop it now!! I'm sat here with a bowl of fitness as I don't drink milk and can only stand it with cereal, so I am being a good girl!!!

I am staying away from peanuts (not that I ate them but been a big fan of peanut butter since I was a little girl, a llllllooooooonnnnngggg time ago!), I suffer from asthma, exzema and hayfever so no peanuts at all!

Feta - I live in a foreign country and I am going to have to look up the word pasturised so my other half knows what I talking about! I'm not a big veggie lover but love salad and can't have salad without feta, maybe in small amounts?

I am suffering with a little nausea at the mo and I read that ginger can help, ginger biscuits was my friends favourite, but can I find bloody ginger biscuits anywhere!!!!! typical.

I don't drink coffee, but I do drink diet coke, I read about the caffeine intake and now I try to have only 1 glass a day, in the morning to wake me up. If I don't I'll be asleep at my desk by 12!!

So you would say that pre packaged sandwich/deli meats are fine? The local place we go have meats out in the open in fridges of course but also prepacked. I will only go for pre packed if you ladies say it's fine

If I find any other news, I'll let you know. Thanks to you all xx

Mervs mum - i was told by midwife i can have two portions of tuna per week. I presume thats like 2 small tins/sandwiches.....

you need to get someone back home to send you some gingernuts

Just read that.. now I want tuna! Its ages since I've had any aswell

Jolly good, I knew I was wise to be doing this

yes i'm not sure salami is cooked is it? (I say having realized into my second tri that i'd been eating dried / cured hams adn salami thinking it was OK...)
I think maybe we should avoid it unless cooked on pizzas etc. Shame...I love a salami sandwich!!!

As long as the cheese syas pasturized it should be fine i think....
but i read just now from teh food standards agency: There are different types of goats' cheeses available. The type that is probably most common in the UK has a white rind similar to Brie and Camembert. This type of goats' cheese is sometimes called Chevre and is often served in restaurants, for example in a goats' cheese salad. You should avoid this when you are pregnant. However, other types of goats' cheese that don't have this kind of rind should be fine to eat, particularly hard cheeses.

Now, my goats cheese does have the white rind...but it says Pasteurized on it so who knows'!?!

Morning ladies. This may seem like an incredibly stupid question, but is all milk pasteurised? Ok, I live in a foreign country, where the alphabet is totally different, I'm still trying to master it, I have looked in the dictionary for pasteurised, but can't find it. I have cereal and milk, obviously, but there is no English on the carton so this is why I ask the question. It's a hell of a lot harder when you can't read the labels clearly, so I'm gonna stick to what I know.

Salami is now off the menu. Pre-packed sandwich meats, a big no no?? No more salami, that's not a problem.

Regarding Vitamin A. I could read on the side of the milk carton that vit A was in it, only a small amount, is this ok?
