Eating salad from restaurants or in the bag

One of my favorite things to eat is salad but I hear it’s a risk for pregnant women especially if it’s pre packaged. I haven’t been eating them as much while pregnant. Anybody else on the fence about salads? I’m craving one right now and wanted to get Olive Garden salad lol

I havent been in the mood for salad but I swear they’re the reason I got pregnant. I think if you’re eating something along with it you should be fine, there’s soooo many nutrients in leafy greens! I’m finally getting back into my salad phase cuz I’m craving them again. It’s good to listen to your body and try to get the most organic produce

I think as long as you trust the restaurant you should be fine. The warning comes since listeria outbreaks happen with lettuce that wasn't washed properly or stored properly I think (surprisingly more common than other food items they prohibit during pregnancy)

If you're going to a reputable restaurant and you trust their hygiene practice then go for it! There's already so many things we're not allowed to eat during pregnancy and salads are so healthy for you!!

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Loosing connection

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and my partner can’t and hasn’t come anywhere near me sexually for about 12 weeks or so now. We tried but he got put off saying he was worried he was hurting the baby. I’ve spoken to him about this trying to tell him he can’t and he’s no where near, I’ve sent him email links I’ve had through on newsletters. My libido is through the roof and I’m worried we will drift apart if we don’t have aex again soon.
