Feta Cheese

[Loveleen]

Dear All,

I by mistake ate Feta cheese salad today..and when I was finishing my plate a friend came over and told me it was really bad to eat feta while you are pregnant..I am now feeling terrible..Is there anything I can do to avoid catching any infection..

Any advice will be helpful.

Don't worry about it hun! I know it's easier said than done, but I've eaten pretty much everything you aren't supposed to lol!!
This 'friend' sounds like one of those interfering people (sorry if that offends)...it's not as big a deal as they've made out.

I've eaten raw steak, soft cheese, homemade mayonnaise, prawns, the lot!!

I think you should be fine as long as it was pasturised hun x

Don't worry too much!!! I went to a wedding and the photos were taking ages and they were bringing out nibbles - of which most were very unrecognisable and consisted of bits of not fully cooked meat and i thought that it was probably the safest option to eat the deep fried brie - and i have to say it was lovely on an empty stomach!!

Some types of cheese
Avoid cheeses such as Camembert, Brie or chevre (a type of goats' cheese), or others that have a similar rind. You should also avoid soft blue cheeses.

These cheeses are made with mould and they can contain listeria, a type of bacteria that could harm your unborn baby.
