I was trying to deal with some digestive issues and weaning off an inhaler. Once those were sorted and I was pregnant, I relaxed the rules, which I know is not the norm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-following-the-rules#post-2325372 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 08:56:56 +0000 travelgirl1 2325372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After BFP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-following-the-rules#post-2325337 Mon, 19 Oct 2015 08:35:33 +0000 tinyperson 2325337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>after BFP - except for some brie that I had left in the fridge.

But I then had an ob who was pretty lax, said just don't eat somewhere that looks dirty etc. And I decided to go with the uk and french recommendations which are way less restrictive than ours.
