have just come back from eating off a Buffet....had mock cream so going to say it is ok....
have to say ive been more careful with seafood, sushi, soft cheeses and deli meat than anything else....have people all around me that say they ate anything but unless i saw them i dont trust them and it is my bubs!!!
Be as careful as you want sarahbeth....but im sure mock cream would be ok....hmmmm dunkin donuts tomorrow me thinks....

I ask brumbies to give me a call when they have creamed their jam donut fingers *drool* then I waddle round and get one...alot of my paper work has big greasy cinnamon thumbprints on it....

personally I wouldn't have buffet, as you can't be sure how hot (or cooked or old) everything is, but apart from that I have eaten more things this time around than I did with Jacob, but won't eat deli salads or meat still. went hard on cheeses a while back, I got it bad for vintage cheddar and creamy havarti *drools* with that preggy classic, pickled onions.

No real "cravings" like last time, but I do have fads, so I just go with it. i do find (as with last time) that when I feel like "something" I want it NOW. Liek today i was thinking about how much more tangier vegemite used to be, and i was watering a the mouth, i could almost smell the way it used to be,a nd I was missing it so bad!!!

Well....

That wasnt a good idea im so hungry now and all i can think about is Cream, Chesse, McDs and donughts all good info but mmmm i want it NOW might have to stop on my way home to get somthing (safe) naughty

And yes i didnt think about that my friends are big on chesse platers and i always have to sit and watch and well Salami is the killer for me salami and Chesse on crackers yummy I think i will organise my own food for my baby shower

but no i just cant my freinds think im strange not eating Tahi or Chinese or any Asian really im craving it but not happy with food sitting around so just wont and well that dosent stop my partners mum trying to serve me left over meat all the time it grates me my parnter finaly stood up for me the other night and siad i CANT have it you should have seen the look on her face and she always says but i did it and the kids are fine best defence i have to that is

There has been a lot of reaserch and advancement in food saftey and things are no longer the same as when you were pregnant

I think the Galaxy cheese is fine (Chives, Smoky, Smoked Ham, Pepper) and well gerkins or onions would go well with that mmmm maybe thats what ill buy

If/when I have McD's I just ask if I can have a hot one. It must sound kinda silly to them but no one has ever batted an eyelid. You can claim a "medical condition" if you don't want everyone knowing you are preg yet.

Salami - I have now craved salami for part of two pregnancies, I never thought of it being a problem until now. But isn't it the case that the freeze-wrapped (or whatever it's called) salami/luncheon/bier sticks/etc are okay, just don't get from the deli? Every now and then I can't resist a bit of ham and I will get some from the deli but I will only eat it on the day I bought it.

As you can see, I'm not very strict on foods while preg... but then I have never had a listeria scare.

The best trick to play at McD's is to ask for it to be without something. I was once a McDonald's girl and was a master in the kitchen and it is the best way to get something made freshly.

lol sound like me

Think cos im a first timer im just a little worried i dont fell myself most of the time so to be sick to would just suck

I think i will have a big feed when shes out and im happy with everything then i will have it all in one sitting LOL dont think i would fit it in in one sitting

But i did get chesse and girkins the other week big mistake i hadnt had girkins when i was pregnant before now im dreaming about them LOL

What do you guys recon about eating fruit like orange lemon, rubarb and the types while brest feeding ? Ivans mum seems to think these types of foods will sour my milk ???

PS: Have figured out Rubarb is fabulous for constipation for anyone whos having trouble
