What foods are pasterurised??

Dont forget calcium is not the only important nutrient the body needs, pregnant or not pregnant! Also why focus on dairy? calcium is in a wide range of foods, green vegetables in particular

Moderation is the important thing

It's Vitamin A (liver, and thus pate, are naturally very high sources of it) and, apparently, it's really bad for the baby in high doses.

Nuts were on the 'banned' list at the start of my pregnancy. At the end my midwife recommended that I eat them as I was aneamic lol and the 'guidelines' had changed whereby they now think that avoiding nuts can cause nut allergies.

lordy help anyone who'd stood between me and my milkshake (which you should have as apparently there is something in them that could be bad for pregnant women... like I cared!)

OMG - I am addicted to banana milkshake (mixed up myslef - not from McD's)!!!!!

I think the pate can have Listeriosis (sp?!).

Oh, and the peanuts - I was told to avoid if I have asthma, hayfever etc, as there's some kind of link between them and peanut alleries, but as I only ever have a few if someone else is eating them, I'm not too worried about that either!
