Can I eat bacon

Hello

I am in my first trimester and my husband makes a great creamy mushroom and bacon pasta. I have a massive craving for it at the moment but am I allowed to eat bacon?

Thanks
Jem

I eat bacon All the time, havent hear its bad for you, I just stay away from soft and moldy cheeses.
Good luck

If you want ham, get the organic stuff, the normal stuff has high levels of nitrate in it. My GP told me to stay well away from any pork products.

I haven't been told to stay away from bacon. Have eaten it through two healthy pregnancys and am do so with this one too. I guess if it comes from the deli just check how long its been sitting in the window.

I have eaten bacon through both of my pregnancies. I think it is generally the uncooked meats that you need to stay away from. So long as the bacon has been cooked in the process, it should be fine !

Ive been told its ok to eat as long as it has been cooked.

Just got told by my dr to ensure all meats are cooked well... YUM creamy mushie bacn pasta ohhhh going to have that for tea yummy thanks for the idea..

Yep just make sure your DH fries the bacon first, Jem :)

As long as it is well cooked it will be fine.....though I don't know how any of you can eat bacon ATM!

Wouldn't mind that recipe Jane!

why not Sez?

I have to have my bacon on the weekends. I have had no trouble with my other pregnancies when eating bacon.

With my last pregnancy, All through the second trimester, I craved bacon for breckfast lunch and dinner... yum yum... And I ate lots of it, naughty I know, but it was my weekness. And my bubs is 100% healthy... :cool:
