When I was also really sick in my first tri, cheese was one of the only protein sources I could stomach. As a result, I asked my prenatal dietitian about most of them. She said the following:

Philly cream cheese is fine as long as you use it in a day or two. In Coles you can buy seperate little tubs of cream cheese (think they are like 30g each) which work perfectly for this

Cottage cheese is fine ONLY if you know that it is fresh. Unfortunately we don't really, as even if the supermarket is just stacking it on the shelves, we still don't really know when it was manufactured. She suggested to avoid it.

Ricotta is fine only if it is in a cooked dish (i.e. pasta ravioli etc.)

I have eaten Colby a fair bit because it is quite mild tasting. I would honestly categorise that as a hard cheese, but I didn't ask my dietitian.

I hope this helps
