Accidentally ate Brie!

Don’t worry, you are so early on you will be fine 😊 think of all the people that don’t find out until much later. I accidentally ate something out of date and panicked but was fine xx

I have eaten lots of Brie whilst pregnant. It’s not advised but also incredibly unlikely to be of any harm. The harm would come from potential food poisoning it can cause. I wouldn’t worry yourself about it just avoid it in the future if you think it’ll cause you to be anxious ☺️

We're supposed to avoid brie? I'm 34 weeks and have a brie, bacon, and cranberry sandwich every other week on my girl lunches with friends as it was the only thing I could stomach in my 1st trimester without triggering the nausea/sickness.

I wouldn’t worry some people don’t find out until much later, you should be okay x

It depends if its unpasteurised or not and also if it's been cooked or not. If unpasteurised and raw, it's the listeria that can be a risk as it can cause food poisoning. It doesn't necessarily mean you will. I accidentally ate goats cheese in my first pregnancy but was fine :) just try avoid for later down the road x

Thank you everyone for your reassurance! It says on the packing that it's pasteurised so hopefully will be fine 🤞🏼

Brie was my craving. I ate loads.

Don’t worry in countries like France there are no rules like we have and the would eat Brie. It’s only advised against because of the very slim chance you get sick

I ate cold chorizo the other day in a pasta and panicked. Messaged my sister in law and she said a woman opposite her in hospital in labour was eating mouldy cheeses and cold cuts through her whole pregnancy apparently and they were fine. Just avoid it from now on and don't risk having again x

You’re good. Most UK supermarket food must be pasteurised anyway, it’s mainly making sure you check that at delis and farmers markets. Also, things like eggs aren’t really an issue here as they are red lion stamped. Enjoy it!

Yes dont worry girl!! I had ibuprofen with my first and nothing happened. As long as you dont eat too much and avoid it from now on, you'll be absolutely fine. Im lucky I hate brie so don't have this issue 😂

Omg you’re FIIIIIINEEEE! The whole danger with the cheese is it being spoiled and making you sick and has that ever happened to you before?? No, probably not. It’s super, super rare. Enjoy your cheese in peace.
