    ...not that I can imagine ever wanting too!?! Whilst I was preggers I figured it was still safer to eat a pure peice of unpasturised Brie than a chemical-laden toxic mixture porporting to be cheese...but that was my personal choice;)

    It is bizarre, I have never wanted to touch the stuff, yet I was at a friends and she made a fantastic tortilla wrap with it in and I am mad on it ever since!

    I didn't have cravings with my first, but this one is sending me to distraction. More so on what I am repulsed by. I can't stand the smell of the Earl Grey tea bags in the cupboard, but my husband is mad for them so I can't get rid of them, I have tried putting them in air tight containers and it still gets through!

    Thanks to everyone for coming back with advice on the cheese

    I have had 3 healthy children and took absolutely no notice of any foods I was not allowed to eat! I ate soft boiled eggs (got cravings for boiled eggs and soldiers), soft cheeses (including camembert but I only ate the pasturised versions anyway), I ate Pate too! I just looked at it with the view that the chances of contracting anything were so slim, that it was just over cautiousness, but that's just my view.

    Know how some of you feel. I am due to give birth in May to our first. When we talked about children, i thought i would really miss the alcohol.
    Nope, you can keep that....not missed it at all.
    But boy am i gonna enjoy my soft poached eggs on toast for brekkie, and pate for lunch when bump puts in an appearance.
