I wouldn’t be too concerned with the beans, the main issue with food poisoning would be if you’re vomiting/having bad diarrhea as it can lead to dehydration.
They advice against cold cut meats because of the risk of certain bacterias but honestly I ate it anyway in both pregnancies 😅

I wouldn't worry too much unless you are vomiting/having bad diarrhea as this can cause dehydration. Eating cold meat is just an advisory during pregnancy but i ate it with my first and eat it with this one x

The risk of deli meat is worse then shellfish / oyster and the other bits they warn you about because of the type of bacteria that they have on them and the actual risks to the babies. All the foods we are recommended not to eat have different reasons and bacteria linked to them. I have read turkey is one of the worst deli meats. But again, I guess it’s upto you what you decide to do. There is a lot of recommendations from drs that don’t have a lot of evidence behind them but from what I’ve read the deli meats is one that does because it’s linked directly to threatening bacteria and deli meat is the most likely source that this type of bacteria is found. It’s called toxoplasmosis. The same thing they say you can get from cleaning the cat litter.

I had food poisoning at 37 weeks pregnant, whilst it was very unpleasant and a night spent in hospital due to dehydration, baby was absolutely fine, it did not affect him one bit.

Sometimes eating too many beans hurts my tummy.. but you said they weren't in the greatest condition? I'd just make sure your drinking alot of fluids and if you feel the need to check in with a doctor and ask questions you could just for peace of mind. Not sure if you have an appointment coming up?

If the turkey ham is a cold cut, I'd heat them up first so you atleast kill whatever that could be on there cause that's the risk. Also prepackaged cold cuts in the store are apparently worse then the deli cutting it cause of the nitrates to create longer shelf life.

I was pretty by the book cause I overthink and didn't wanna risk it but I've heard it people say it all depends on what your comfortable with

Love my husband. Love my kids. But…

I’m 32 weeks pregnant with twins. I take care of my 4 yo, 2 yo, and 1 yo. I barely have energy to stand anymore. I cuddle and watch movies with my kids all day at this point. My husband is less pushy in this pregnancy in wanting to be touched or love up on me. But I feel more like a tool these days more than ever. He gets frustrated (not to a crazy degree) but I can tell he huffs because he’s probably sexually frustrated from me not wanting to be touched on. (my boobs are super sensitive atm) I love having the babies part, but the pregnancy also now has me feeling like a baby making machine. And a tool with big boobs made for touches and my husbands pleasure. Ofc I love my husband and kids, but with my hormones all wack, it really doesn’t feel the same when you’re not turned on. It’s so hard for me to get turned on. I’m uncomfortable all the time in my own body. Babies moving in there all the time. My children cuddle me all day but get rowdy at the end of the day, so I end up getting touched out and I can get irritable when my husband tries to touch me affectionately. He doesn’t have the tact necessary for me right now, when I wish he wanted to go in for a normal comforting hug I’m let down more often than not, there is almost always a boob groping involved as well. I tried to just let him touch me last night so he could get it out of his system, but he could tell I felt tense. Wish my boobs weren’t such an uncomfortable place for me to be touched. Idk why I’m making this post. Probably just to vent. Wish men were equally as emotionally intelligent as women. Wish I didn’t feel like I still owe him something because he’s picking up a lot of the house load and yet I still need to ask him to do more before these twins arrive. He’s tired every day when he comes home, so he takes a shower sometimes works out, and helps get the kids to bed. So it’s a struggle getting him to help any further than that. Weekends are my only time to get to him. But it’s a struggle to find time on weekends too. I know if he wanted to he would. But there’s just no drive.

Maternity leave Employment rights?

I have 6 weeks left of work and they have completely changed my job spec including my job title and all my responsibilities, they have done this ahead of advertising my maternity cover apparently to fit business needs which I am fine with but i explained as long as it doesn’t effect me before I go. They have now turned round and said they want me to do the training for it before I go and want me to sign a variation in contract asap. Are they allowed to do this? I thought you had the right to come back to the same job within 26 weeks and I haven’t even left yet and they’re changing it? I was going to see what the job was when I got back and go from there but now they’re wanting me to sign this change in contract before I go I don’t know what to do, do I have to sign it ?
