When you first find out your pregnant and you go to the midwife’s and they say no to having mayo is that right cuz I had a sandwich yesterday with mayo in it , it weren’t a great lot , but now I’m 35+4 now . Would baby still be okay ? Or is it wrong that ate a sandwich with mayo in it ?

I’ve never heard this! Been eating mayo throughout my pregnancy & have tuna mayo pasta at least once a week 🥴 baby all good at 36 weeks! X

I've been eating mayonnaise the entire time since the first trimester out of bottles etc. The concern is with fresh mayonnaise with eggs that aren't lion certified. Luckily, we don't really get that in the UK. I'm 37+3 now with a healthy baby growing

it’s so weird that different midwife’s say one thing and others seem to say no it’s fine ahaha 🤣. But yeah when I first find out I was pregnant she was like don’t have mayo , don’t eat chorizo or things like that 🤣x

Yeah I think it depends on their age etc to be honest & when they were trained, I’d just stick to nhs guidelines really x

Normal mayo like Hellman’s is absolutely fine. 😄 The only reason it’s sometimes a bit of a question is if you were to go to a farm cafe or somewhere that they make their own homemade mayo AND they have used unpasteurised milk or non-lions-stamp eggs to make it (this can carry bacteria which can make you ill). Basically there is no effect to the baby unless you become ill (same with any illness from food (salami, cheeses etc) x

You can have mayo, 99% of mayo from supermarkets is made with pasteurised eggs which is safe. They recommend not eating homemade mayo because it hasn’t been pasteurised

okay thank you ☺️ x

Your be fine it’s just if it’s homemade with egg in case of salmonella ect xxx

I’ve never ever heard this! I’ve had garlic Mayo alllll the way through I’m 36+1 and my baby is fine up to now

well least I know but I also guess when it’s your first which this is I had no idea what to believe and what not too

I’ve been eating it the entire time and am 37+5 now…. I think they only say that for homemade mayo as the egg is raw xx

there’s a guide on the nhs website I used it when I first found out and didn’t see it in there so I think you’ll be fine x

Thank you everyone x
