Can I eat foods like; cream, yoghurt & icecream? Yes Can I have cooked prawns, cooked salmon and barramundi? Yes Can I have cooked deli ham (e.g. in a toasted sandwich)? As long as it's heated to over 60 degrees I think Can I have cooked but cold egg (e.g. in salads or egg and lettuce sandwiches)? not if it's prepared.
Can I eat foods like; cream, yoghurt & icecream? YES but no soft serves (forget Maccas and KFC shakes and sundaes)
Can I have cooked prawns, cooked salmon and barramundi? Yes providing its served hot
Can I have cooked deli ham (e.g. in a toasted sandwich)? Yes providing its served hot (no cold meat)
Can I have cooked but cold egg (e.g. in salads or egg and lettuce sandwiches)? I think you can but only if you do it yourself. Personally I avoid cold eggs just to be on the safe side.
A friend told me you shouldn't eat hotdogs when you're pregnant but when I was UTD with DD it was one of the FEW meats I would eat. I also avoided things like foods in shopping centre food courts unless it was something that could be cooked up for me on the spot ITMS.
My OB said also once past the early stages, eating deli meat is ok in SOME circumstances. I.e. when you go to a deli section and they slice the meat for you (as opposed to pre-sliced sitting waiting), and still to consume within 24 hours. I have done this since she told me, but I still have the meat (sliced turkey) in toasted sandwiches just in case...
good point NaeNae I forgot to mention the soft serve.
Lolpigs - if the place at work freshly prepares their egg sandwiches themselves on the day (that is doesn't get their sandwiches from a supplier, prepackaged) then you should be ok. It's more about not knowing when/how food has been prepared.
