I must be a crazy woman then because I avoided all the high risk foods. I just couldn't take any risks that were easily avoidable. I'm sure those babies born to addict parents have battles ahead of them from the start, poor little things.
I wonder if there were more babies dying of listeria back when our mums had babies, when the guidelines were more flexible? I'd assume so otherwise why would the list of high risk foods be more extensive now. I can't imagine the guidelines have been developed to be cruel to us and make us suffer while we are pregnant. It's what's best for our babies.
