Forbidden foods and calculated risks

Even with my past experiences, it seems I get more blasé about the rules for each pregnancy. The other day I found my favourite brie cheese at 80% off at Coles (short date). Yippee! I bought two pieces.

I had eaten one entire 150g triangle in front of the telly before I remembered I’m not supposed to have unpasteurised cheese...

But if one was to think of it the opposite way, one sees how very small the risk is with these ”forbidden” foods. Imagine that a pregnancy was unwanted and a person WANTED it to end. I bet they could eat their weight in unpasteurised cheese every day for the entire pregnancy, and the baby would still be born full term and healthy. 

Anyway, point made, I will still keep the rules in mind and perhaps offer the second cheese to someone else.
