    What not to eat?

    Ok i have been trying to research this but so far have read you shouldn't eat this or that, but then i have read that it is fine to eat those foods etc.

    So what are big no no's to eat when pregnant? So far i have only seen that soft Cheese is a no no?

    it comes down to your judgement/decision in a lot of cases.
    i also avoid buffets and times when the food has beensitting for along time. freshly cooked and piping hot is the main thing and also avoiding known listeriosis risks like soft cheese, smokes fish and cold cuts, raw fish (sushi).
    Personally I also avoid caffeine (tea and coffee) as much as possible also taking into acct the caffeine in soft drinks and chocolate (hard to avoid this totally LOL)

    So basically stay away from premade foods and deli foods that have been sitting around...and cheese? this is just the cheese with mould on it? and dont have to much caffeine? Luckily i dont drink tea or coffee or coke so i should be fine there! and i can eat fish but not fish like shark which is high in magnesuim?

    yep ... but all soft cheeses unless piping hot - so ricotta, cottage , brie etc
    and i think it's deep sea fish who also have high mercury?? but not sure on that one.
