Avoid soft, mould-ripened cheeses such as brie, camembert and chevre and soft,
blue-veined cheeses such as Danish blue and roquefort. These cheeses may contain listeria bacteria, which can cause miscarriage. Listeria has the ability to cross the placenta and may infect the baby leading to infection or blood poisoning, which can be life-threatening.
