Morning everyone


I went to the Herne for dinner last night and rounded off a delicious meal with three dollops of icecream. Woke up with a thought this morning that a) does the Herne use raw eggs in its icecream b) I'm 7 months' preggers c) is that dangerous for the baby?


Baby's been pretty quiet this morning ... arrrrgggghhh.


I know there's no point worrying now: it's too late, but I can'thelp it.

Hi there,

I know there are meant to be risks with raw eggs but just wanted to reassure you that I had loads of Mr Whippy ice creams plus used to eat raw cake mixture absent-mindedly AND pastry when pregnant and my son is fine...I'd have thought at this stage you'd be fine, sure others will know more about this though.

These days our eggs tend to be salmonella free, especially the lion eggs. I ate peanuts, Mr Whippy, Mayo, Sushi and the rest througout pregnancy and my baby boy is absolutely fine! I think they put these guidelines so we don't go OTT on them especially since we have cravings and can eat LOADS of the stuff, but I still ate whatever I wanted. I would not worry about it.

Hiya, at your stage in pregnancy risk is to you not the baby. Your immunity is lower than usual so you are more susceptable to food poisoning, hence the advice not to eat things that are a higher risk of food poisoning.



In the first three months, the risk is that food poisoning can cause miscarriage ie a serious risk early on but far less so as the pregnancy progresses.


I am 7 months too and although still careful nowhere near as much so as I was earlier on!

THank you so much - really appreciate all that info and advice. The babster seems fine as do I. I have to admit to having had nuts galore throughout pregnancy and fairly rare steaks. Have avoided sushi and mayo but it didn't cross my mind that icecream might be full of raw eggs until it was too late. Thanks for the Guardian article!

Yes, but if you are a veggie they then recommend nuts as a source of .....protein? or something because you are not getting any meat.....I mostly stuck to the guidelines when pregnant, but given how much it varies from country to country I don't think any of us should get too hung up on this stuff.

I ate everything (literally) whilst pregnant except for raw or cured meats. Never had a problem with the sashimi, peanut butter, eggs and (whisper it) the occasional glass of wine/champagne and all kinders are fine. I just wouldn't eat these things from a Moto or Little Chef and as Lorraine says everything in moderation.

nuts are fine, although they say avoid peanuts if you have allergies / asthma etc. That said, I have asthma and haven't stopped eating peanut (not that I eat much, just in food and the odd slice of peanut butter on toast), peanuts have never given me any trouble and I am sure my baby will more likely be allergic to nuts with no exposure than some!!


Each country is different, and has different recomendations. We went to both Sweden and Norway in my first three months and they dont avoid shell fish or raw fish there!! Alcohol on the other hand is an absolute no.


we recently went on holiday and I called NHS direct to check out what vaccinations we should have and what I could have. The answer was none.... they also recommended I avoid salad, fish and fruit!! Not a lot else left to eat where we were going!!


In the end I used common sense! Ate fish given it was far fresher than the fish here - all cooked the same day it was caught, avoided shell fish as usual and did eat fruit and salad just peeled it first and stuck with bottled water even though the tap water was apparantly safe. I also had the odd flute of Australian sparkling wine - or "champagne" as the Fijian's referred to it ;-)

    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
