Confused

This probably going to sound silly but dose anyone know if u can drink milk during pregnancy, my midwife was saying so much the other day I can't remember everything she said, all I remember is milk but can't remember if she said I could or couldn't have milk.

Yeah you can drink milk during pregnancy, as long as it is pasteurised, pretty much everything in a supermarket is pasteurised. I think the only place you’d find stuff you couldn’t eat is on a farm ☺️

@Aisha thanks. Ok I get cravendale milk from the supermarket. Yeah.

@Becky you are all good then 😄

@Aisha good. Thanks 🙂

It’s good for heartburn, as is yoghurt!

The NHS website has a list of foods to avoid if you want to see it again. I know how you feel, so bombarded with information overload. I left remembering nothing 😂 x

@Sarah thanks

@Becca thanks. Yeah I remember nothing too just like little bits but don't make sense. 😂 x

Yeah milk is fine and is good for you during pregnancy! You only have to avoid it if it’s unpasteurised, but the majority of milk in the UK is 😊

@Aimee thanks

@Jasmine thanks

Only thing you should avoid is undercooked meat, and anything unpasteurised like soft cheeses or raw milk xx

I believe too much can affect iron absorption so that may be something she mentioned? It's definitely safe otherwise though and I think you'd have to drink a fair amount for it to be an issue

@Poppy I can't remember. I only have milk on my cereal and the occasional milkshake.
