Had half a glass of wine when I was visiting Mum and Dad a few weekends ago... weirdly, really, because I rarely drink when I'm NOT pregnant. I'm not that fond of ham, but I've had such cravings for bacon. OMG.

I figure that we generally have pretty good hygiene standards here, and listeria outbreaks are very rare. It's pretty unlikely to get a contamination. Plus, I think of health being a holistic thing - mental health in pregnancy counts too!! If you're going crazy with food deprivation (and let's face it, there are so many other deprivations you have to put up with!) then it's not good for the baby. Or that's what I'm telling myself.
