i always forget all these things to avoid lol, eggs you can have as long as they are not runny eggs, theres also soft cheese to avoid, my midwife said only two tins of tuna a week aswell, and all the stuff babymamma said above too lol

mayonaise is a no no, as is brie, stilton, feta cheeses. You can eat mozzrella only if its pasterised. Sterilised milk i read was not good for oyu. Any meats that have been kept chilled and then needs reheating, like tinned hot dogs etc.

Congratulations hun

Hiya, there's a sticky thread at the top of the first tri board which will help you.

Mayonnaise from jars etc is fine, you just need to be careful with home-made stuff in small cafes etc as that usually contains raw eggs which can then lead to salmonella.

I've also been told to make sure meat is cooked all the way through - no more rare or medium steaks and the same with fish. Most fish is ok when properly cooked but no raw fish and there are a few you have to be careful with because of mercury levels. But read that thread, its really helpful xx
