Details, people, details! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063884 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 06:29:02 +0000 looch 1063884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate Brie from Europe, heck I even ate sushi, so I didn't follow the rules. In fact, the only rule I was told to watch was a certain type of lettuce that grows really close to the ground. Everything else was fair game. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063815 Wed, 04 Sep 2013 01:09:34 +0000 lemondrop 1063815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rules, schmules ;) Enjoy it!

I did that too, on occasion, while pregnant! Did I miss your announcement? Congrats! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063577 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:56:06 +0000 heartonastring 1063577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: me too! And the only thing my midwife said was not to consume too much caffeine (or smoke or drink, obviously). She pretty much gave all the other rules a big eye roll! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063553 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:46:42 +0000 PinkElephant 1063553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if it's pasteurized and fresh, soft cheese is absolutely fine - I definitely ate it while pregnant. I probably wouldn't eat soft cheese that's been sitting in the fridge for awhile (since bacteria seems more likely to grow in nice oozy brie as opposed to say, a really hard sharp cheddar)...otherwise, go for it! Same goes for things like deli meats, smoked salmon, etc. My doctor, when pressed, always told me to open a new packet, eat what I wanted to, then let my hubby finish the leftovers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063534 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:41:06 +0000 HLK208 1063534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate so much Brie while pregnant!! It's the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063532 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:40:03 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1063532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartonastring: I broke so many rules and ONLY followed what my midwife said!!</p> <p>I ate brie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063525 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:37:14 +0000 luckypenny 1063525@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>But don't you always here pregnant women complaining they can't have Brie/soft cheeses? Or that they're going to have a huge cheese plate after they give birth? Why is that?? I always thought it was strange since I pasteurized cheese is rare in the US </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063511 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:30:08 +0000 mrs.cookie 1063511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cheese was one of the only things I could keep down! My doc said almost all bries and camemberts are pasteurised nowadays (unless in Europe buying the really good stuff) so it was fine. I lived on Brie and crackers both pregnancies. No two headed babies :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063496 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:25:20 +0000 bunnylove08 1063496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate Brie when I was 3 weeks pregnant with my dd when I was visiting Paris. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063491 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:23:22 +0000 Foodnerd81 1063491@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate any pasuerized cheese. Dh managed to buy a raw cheddar that looked so good though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063481 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:19:41 +0000 yoursilverlining 1063481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, as long as you don't buy raw cheese at the farmers market you're fine (and its a very good chance youre fine eating raw cheeses since the rest of the world does it). Grocery stores here really can't sell unpasteurized cheeses, so haha suckers who avoided Brie - more for me! Nom nom nom, I ate my weight in Brie when I was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063472 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:17:52 +0000 luckypenny 1063472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's what I thought! Thanks ladies for reassuring me :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063467 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 20:16:33 +0000 PurplePeony 1063467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The grocery stores I usually go to have fancy-schmancy cheese counters so there are lots of raw milk options...I just double-check that I'm not choosing one of those, and happily enjoy my pasteurized cheese :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063387 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:48:29 +0000 littlebug 1063387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pasteurized is cool, and you'd have to look pretty hard to find unpasteurized cheese in the US!

Thank goodness cause I've been stuffing my face with it for quite some time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063344 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:33:48 +0000 prettylizy 1063344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartonastring: rebels unite!!!

It's just gone way too far.</p> <p>Yes, Brie made from pasteurized milk is totally fine :) I ate a couple raw milk cheeses while I was pregnant, but I'm kind of rebellious like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063322 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:27:18 +0000 Anagram 1063322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate all pasteurized cheese during pregnancy, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063319 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:26:57 +0000 mamabolt 1063319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My understanding is yup, if it's pasteurized you are AOK, so most cheese you can get at a typical grocery is no problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lets-talk-about-brie#post-1063318 Tue, 03 Sep 2013 19:26:32 +0000 aprk 1063318@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ate any pasteurized cheese while pregnant. </p>
