Unpasteurised cheese! 🙅🏼‍♀️🚫

Please don’t panic! You’ll be okay. It’s all way over-precautionary. How much did you have? If we followed these rules about everything we’d never eat 🤭 if you’re worried please don’t Google, have a quick chat with your midwife and she’ll put your mind at ease. I’m sure lots of mums have naughty things through choice too! We’re told not to have soft-serve ice cream too but I’ve seen a lot of people eating McFlurrys, and to be careful with salad but I’ve eaten lots of that as long as I wash it myself… so don’t worry too much honestly, have a chat to your midwife x

I believe they advise against eating unpasteurised cheese because it carries a higher risk of things like food poisoning etc as they MAY carry a type of bacteria but not necessarily. I am sure it would be really unlikely and I think as long as you feel well in yourself you will be completely fine 😘

It’s not the cheese itself it’s the risk of food poisoning. I’m sure you’ll be fine but you can always call the doc and ask if you’re super anxious!

Call your midwife, I had major paranoia when it came to food when I was pregnant I was so worried about catching things like listeria but was told a little bit here and there of anything except alcohol would be alright, stay off Google it gives you worst case scenarios x

Yeah I accidentally ate some things like that too, some Brie cheese I think. It may be best to avoid those things for extra safety but you can’t quite help everything, if you do have something you can just monitor yourself and how you feel, call your doctor if you feel truly concerned! Blessings to you 🤍

If it’s a hard unpasteurised cheese you’re fine and that’s allowed!🥰🤍

I lived on the stuff my baby is 100% healthy

We all chest sometimes. Best to avoid certain foods in large quantities but unlikely that one serving of unpasteurized cheese is going to cause a huge issue. I had feta and medium rare steak every now and then during my pregnancy and my boy is totally fine. I wouldn't make a habit of eating the high risk foods but I wouldn't stress this one. Xo

I've had unpasteurized cheese, raw sushi, and unheated deli meat this pregnancy and my baby is totally fine. My OB and midwife both just said get it from a trusted source and eat it in moderation. You're more likely to get listeria from bad produce I'm pretty sure. You'll be fine😊👍
