A few questions from a nervous 1st timer

Hi NoName. Firstly, I would give your dentist a call and pre warn them. My dentist doesn't like doing anything in the first trimester but they do say that they are extra cautious - still good to give them a heads up so that you feel safe.

With regards to food. You can have custard as long as you only eat it once you have heated it really well. Cream is fine in cooking as long as it's pretty fresh.

Have you seen a copy of the Food safety in pregnancy booklet? If you want, pm me and I can send you my copy (I have several!!). In my first pregnancy I put the pull out section in the middle on the fridge and referred to it all the time.

Thats a great website...think I might print out a copy and put on the fridge. I was wondering if allowed to eat ie cream things like custard squares and sooo felt like getting one yesterday but didn't. Also thought sushi would be suspicious but good to know can still do homemade if made carefully!
So much to think about huh!

I've heard that custard squares are really dangerous to eat unless you've made them yourself and eat them immediately. I personally wouldn't eat one from a shop. I tend to avoid custard, cream (unless heating to piping hot in cooking), cream cheese, sour cream etc unless at home and I open the pack and use immediately.
