Most say hard cheeses (E.g. block cheese) and sliced cheese from pasteurized milk are fine, as they have less water content and less likely to breed bacteria. Personally I've been taking sliced cheeses pretty often. Only in second tri i introduced other soft cheeses but limited variety and infrequently. If I want to eat soft cheeses, I do my best to check the label to ensure that pasteurized milk is used. I've avoided blue cheese for now, primarily cause a lot of the ones that I want to buy doesn't come labeled with ingredient list and I can't verify the content. There's an article from UK'S national healthcare system :) https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/foods-to-avoid-pregnant/
