cottage and cream cheese

[min]

There will probably be a heap of horrified gasps out there to my response. This PG I have been pretty much eating what I want, withing reason. I have still eaten soft cheeses, and cold meats as as long as they are pre-packaged so you know they haven't been sitting in the deli for days and days. I have still eaten maccas sundaes and had 1-2 coffees a day. I figure that I don't drink, I don't smoke, I excercise and take my vitamins, and I have never got any kind of poisoning from eating these things before, I could be putting a lot worse things into my body for my beautiful baby.

I think the general rule of eating what you want as long as you know it is fresh or cooked or cooled properly is pretty safe. (I still wouldn't touch raw meats or fish though) A little bit of soft cheese here and there isn't going to hurt anything. If you have a craving, then have a little piece and that might hold you over for the rest of PG!

I do agree with what you have said. Fresh and cooked
When my sister was Pg three times, she ate anything and everything. She does live overseas and some foods on the "forbidden list" mighn't have been available to her. She hated sushi and sashimi so I know she never ate that. She also wore nail polish all the time (changed color each week) too and there are sites that advise against it.
She was surprised the amount of food I couldn't eat.

An OB did say to me it was ok to eat raw fish if I knew that the restaurant provided fresh food.
