Can you eat cheesecake in pregnancy?

I'm a big cheesecake fan as well so have looked into this.

You need to check and see if it contains raw eggs or not. Baked cheesecakes are fine as the eggs have cooked but if not then I am afraid you can't have it - boo!!!!!

I think that most cheesecakes are baked though but I would just double check as obvioulsy raw eggs wouldn't be a good idea.

Names.......aaargh help!!!!!

hey,

I had my 20 week scan and was convinced that I was going to be told that we are having a girl but it turns out we are actually having a boy - which is great.

I have a list as long as my arm of girls names and only one for a boy (Sam).... anybody happy to share their boys names, I am in need of inspiration

Depression/Anxiety and medication

hi all,

I am 18 weeks pregnant and suffering horribly from anxiety.

I am sure that meds would be the best thing for me but I am nervous about taking anything during pregnancy.

Do any of you have any experience of this during pregnancy? If so, what were you prescribed and if now do you know wnybody in a similar situation who is taking anything?

thanks

Emma

I really need some help :)

hey ladies,

I really need your help with a stupid thing that's going on for me. I need opinions etc.. from women in the same situation as me.

Its two things really but both about the same subject!!!

Woudl any of you avoid the beach in pregnancy? I am asking because, I am yet again, freaking out about toxoplasmosis. We live in a foreign country and stray cats are a bit of a problem. I was at the beach with my daughter yesterday and having a great time. She was digging on some sand and when I looked across it looked a bit mucky i.e fag butts in it!!!! The rest of the beach is gorgeous and clean. When she cuddled me i got some sand in my mouth and ever since have been totally stressing about it. Its just because of the all the stray cats around. So would any of you stress about this?

The second thing, is that I seem to have thsi fixation with toxoplasmosis that I can't get passed (as you may have noticed). Any ideas on what I can do to not make this as much of a burden as it is? It is really affecting my pregnancy. Is anybody else having issues like this???

please help, I am in desperate need of opinions from other pg women who technically would have the same issues to deal with as me.

Thank you so much for all of you that reply. I am feeling so sad about it all!!

One of those days....

Yeah it is horrible waiting!!

I just need somebody to look at what is stressing me and look at the facts and make a rational/irrational concern call... normally my oh would do it but he's bugared off for the weekend

One of those days....

yes PT you are totally right that's exactly what it is like for me as well. I think the reason that I have fixated on toxoplasmosis is cos everything i read says that unless you do a blood test you don't know you have it but the consequences can be severe... that just freaked me out!!!

What is going on with you?

I think I will get a blood test done but it wont be for 3 weeks as thats how long it can take to show up.

I can't believe how nutty I sound. What's happened to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of those days....

LOL... bet you hadn't asked now. Welcome to my nutty world (i'm not like this all the time honest!!)

One of those days....

Thank you.... well I will tell you whats troubling me but I think you will think I have gone a bit cuckoo!!!!

I have no major concerns with pg but the one thing that really stresses me out (its gonna sound mental) is toxoplasmosis. I read some articles on it and totally freaked myself out.

Anyway, we've recently moved to a hot country with lots of stray cats (not as bad as it sounds) and my anxiety has gone up. The recent thing that has triggered it is this...

My daughter was playing in the garden with some water and it got mixed up with some soil. When she finished I took her in and showered her off, she wouldn't let me wash her hands very well but i did get some water on them. Next thing I know she was playing with my toothbrush, I made a mental note to give it a wash before I used it. Anyways my pg brain totally forgot this when I went t clean my teeth until too late. I went out to the garden to the spot that she was playing in and there was what looked like dried up cat poo.

I have TOTALLY freaked myself out. If somebody told me this story I would think they were being totally irrational but somehow I can't shake off the anxiety.

Sounds nuts eh!!!! I feel like I am going mental today as I feel anxious about it. It keeps going over and over in my mind.

I guess I need somebody of sane and rational mind to look at the facts and tell me to stop being a d*ck LOL!!!

I'm not crazy honest... just having a moment

One of those days....

hey all,

I am having a totally bad day where I feel like I am going slightly crazy!!!

My oh has gone away and I am at home with our 2 year old. I am feeling really stressed and anxious about a couple of stupid things that I know if I told anybody what they were they would say I am being irrational.

I just don't feel like I am coping today, I feel like there are so many pressures on pg ladies of what to/what not to do and I am stressing about it!!!!

Sorry, I all alone here and need to vent.
