A cheese-loving mother-to-be wonders whether her favourite snack is pregnancy friendly.
Raisingkids member's problem Just a quick question I know I can't eat brie and other soft cheese but can I eat Port Salut cheese? I am 4 months pregnant.
Midwife Genevieve Kingston's Advice There's a rule of thumb for all cheeses. Are they made from unpasteurised milk? If they are, then you have the risk of contracting listeria and so they are unsafe. If the answer is they're made out of pasteurised milk, they are safe. If you don't know, it's probably wiser to avoid.
