Food and pregnancy

[Oscar's mum]

Last night I was reading the book Great Expectations pregnancy and childbirth.

Anyway I was perusing the chapter about what to eat and what not too just to freshen up my memory and it said to avoid raw leafy vegetables and sprouts as they can cause listeria too.

This is definately the first time I have heard this, has anyone else heard about avoiding green leafy vegies. I thought they would be good for you with the folate etc!:confused:

Hey Oscar's mum, just noticed your new signature - congratulations! :)

Here is a good site, it refers to unwashed veges as a concern.http://www.cyh.com.au/HealthTopics/HealthTopicDetails.aspx?p=114&np=304&id=1964#7
