Random stupid (@) Questions

Sorry we were just at a work party and the following questions popped into my brain:

I can't eat Lox, correct?

Soft cheeses: sounds like what they "really" mean is no "blue" cheese with the rot - like feta or blue cheese. As long as its pasturized its fine, correct? Fresh sourcream is fine?

How much do you think it would cost to wall paper a 10X11 ft. room? I'm talkin cheapish wallpaper. 

 

Re: Random stupid (@) Questions

  • You probably could eat lox, but I stayed away from it.  you can also eat soft cheeses if they're bubbling.  The risk with cheese is listeria - the same one as lunch meat.  So the rules are no crumbles, but if it's baked into an appetizer of some sort (which it often is), go to.

    I have no idea about wallpaper.  We painted.

  • The info I got from my office was just say no to smoked fish :( I ate any cheese and dairy product made from pasteurized milk. I don't like the rotty cheeses, like blue, so not sure about those.
  • I ate lox. I am a bad mother.?

    nah.  rules are made to be broken.  

  • You can eat ANY cheese that is pasteurized. You can get all kinds of soft cheese (Feta, Brie, Blue, etc.) that is safe, just check the label.

    Deli meats from counters have a miniscule chance of having bad bacteria.

  • imagemajorwife:

    I am going to eat lox.  I don't know if you should but a bagel with lox and cream cheese sounds awesome right now.

    I know, right!?!?!?!

  • Pregnant women are immunosuppressed so the body doesn't treat the embryo/fetus like the foreign body it is, so they're definitely more prone to illness.

  • imagezoegirlTX:

    So if you really wanted to be healthy & safe, you wouldn't eat these things even if you were NOT PG, right?

    Are PG women more susceptible to being sick or would the very small chance that you would actually listeria  harm the baby more so than just a regular illness?

    Listeria is extremely harmful to fetuses.

    Anything you can achieve through hard work, you could also just buy.

    I also ate sushi once, had an occasional half-glass of wine, and cleaned the litter box (albeit with rubber gloves on).?But then, what are mothers for if not to blame all your problems on someday??

  • TTT-Lol, exactly.  The best advice I got in my baby shower book was:

    Don't worry about the mistakes you make.  That's what therapy was invented for.
