Do Japanese Women Eat Sushi, Do French Women Eat Soft Cheese/Pate

[nelly]

I was careful first pg but both that pg and this one I have been told by midwife and ob that they give these blanket "rules" because some people just don't check the finer print. eg Pg women can have soft cheese as long as they are pasteurised and have been handled through the cold chain efficiently. Sushi is fine as long as it is from a reputable place (safe food handling) and you don't eat a lot of the long living mercury accumulating fish.

I guess everything in moderation and as someone said earlier - follow your gut instinct.

Remember that song - "fish, chips and chikko rolls, tomato sauce and sausage rolls"... I wonder if in other countries thay are told don't eat meat pies, chikko rolls and sausage rolls and those women think I wonder if Australians still eat their meat pies and sausage rolls...
