Mrs Moc - it will probably be nerve-wracking for you initially - but you'll just have to make sure you rest loads. Glad you're doing well!

Mrs Moc - wow, what news! A lot to think about, but they're probably right in wanting to preserve your sanity.

Glam - that sucks! I'm definitely a little and often girl

Good news about the scan Mrs M, but I agree you will have to take it careful. XXX

Don't think I've ever had food poisoning... But I do have a cast iron stomach... Still like my meat cooked though lol... I don't like the flavour of rare steak... Or the fact you have to chew it for days... I like my beef stewed so it just falls apart in your mouth...

If its good steak cooked medium, med/rare or rare you won't need to chew it

actually, not to stun everyone, but nowadays you can actually eat pork cooked medium and up (i.e., it doesn't have to be well done). The reason everyone thinks you can't is because pork didn't use to be as clean, etc. or have as many regulations. Ignoring the swine flu situation, technically you can undercook it and there's no innate harm.

of course, i find it gross, but as I used to work in steak restaurant and people would give me weird looks when asking how they wanted their pork chops cooked!!!

I eat my pork slightly pink
(I only buy British meat too none of this cruel and/or dodgy meat from abroad)

Im not looking advice on this but peoples opinions would be much appreciatted, after all this is my life and baby's at risk.

I just dont know what to think.

There was a woman in when I had Chris for the same thing and she stayed in because she lived 30mins away from hosp and said she was just too scared to go home in case she bled again and didn't make it in time.
I suppose you need to ask yourself will you rest at home?
Do you feel comfortable with the time/distance you'd have to go if anything happened? etc

go with what you feel most comfortable with xxx

Mrs_Moc

I can definitely confirm I will do nothing but rest at home :j

There is no way Im taking a chance on stretching or pulling the placenta and ending up in an emergency situation.

I wont be shy in telling DH what needs doing :rotfl:

He was also here when the Dr said about going home and she told him he would have to continue doing everything.

OMG I am still in a state of shock

what did you have for lunch?
I've not had mine yet but I've just been on the Costco hunt thread and I'm thinking costco jacket spud and getting some rib eye steak for tea while I'm there!

A properly cooked piece of beef should never be "chewy"... Some cuts are best suited to slow cooking, others should only be cooked rare and anything else is an insult to the cow
DH likes his welldone to medium - just a tinge of pink in the middle...
I think the difference is also the steak itself - I only buy steaks from our local butcher (who has even been mentioned in Rick Steins food hero's!) because I trust him and know how clean it's kept there. I'd honestly never cook a piece of meat from a super market rare though...
As for undercooked pork... ewwwww
Only beef, lamb and duck should ever be served pink or rare depending on what it is
