I can’t believe I’ve gone 6 months without a deli sandwich with my first son I ate Jersey mikes all the time and never got sick but now that I’m pregnant with another boy I’m like craving it so bad that I gave in and having one for dinner tonight. I know you can heat up the deli meat but I’m craving a cold sub so I’m like fuck it women have sandwiches every day not in moderation and they are fine I’m sure I’m fine and Jersey mikes cuts it fresh for you.

I ate sandwiches throughout my first pregnancy. And when i had subway i would just ask them to heat up the deli meat twice. With my current pregnancy (31 weeks pregnant) i just been eating them regular without getting them extra heated lol just cold subs this time and baby is healthy so far

Obviously I’m old and it was 9 yrs ago, but I ate sub sandwiches, sandwiches at home and hot dogs. My son and I are fine! Give in to that craving and enjoy!! ☺️ And congrats on your second boy! 👦

My first baby I started air frying my meat and hot dogs lightly towards the end of the pregnancy. Second baby said eff it and just ate like 2-3 cold cuts throughout the pregnancy and with my third pregnancy….i just ate what i wanted 🫣🤷🏾♀️ I guess you just have to do what you feel is right for you and baby and my baby wanted jimmy johns and hot dogs lol

9 years ago when I had my first, I ate turkey/deli meat on my sandwichs. I had no clue back then lol. My daughter turned out just perfect. But I havent with this pregnancy bc im just sooo nervous. I think its fine every once in a while though. I would still at least try to heat up beforehand, maybe just let it cool down afterwards?

Jersey Mike's was the first thing my hubby got me after I delivered. 💕

My baby boy is very healthy, he was born on July 9th… so I was big and proud while eating cold deli sandwiches in the summer heat. They’re truly all I wanted. He was healthy throughout my entire pregnancy, and especially now that he’s here. Don’t feel guilty!

I ate Jersey Mike's several times during my pregnancy Dec 2025-Aug 2026... and mommy and baby were just fine. I also made a sandwich at home every day for majority of my pregnancy, it was one of my cravings

I ate deli meat. I am in the UK and there is deli meat that is cooked and then cured instead of cold cured I would by that and nuke it in the microwave for 40ish seconds then make my sandwich. I didn’t have any problems with it during either of my pregnancies. I also ate shrimp and sausage you just need to make sure it’s cooked to temp and piping hot.
Due to be induced on Sunday and I’m currently 41+3 today, nervous about being induced as I wanted natural with birthing pool. Please only positive experiences on being induced because everyone’s been fear mongering me about being induced🥲

I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant. Over the last 3–4 days I’ve had a lot more thick, jelly-like mucus/cervical discharge than usual, coming away in quite large amounts. I’ve also been having cramps and a lot of pressure, loose stools (around 4 times today), and I’ve suddenly lost my appetite as nothing seems appealing. I’m sleeping very badly because I’m constantly waking up uncomfortable and I’m extremely tired and groggy.
My first baby,was small and born at 37 weeks. This baby has also consistently measured small. At my growth scan today, he was around the 5th percentile and weighed roughly 5-something lbs. They said he may just be constitutionally small as I’m small and Arabella was too. They did an extra blood-flow/Doppler check for reassurance and it was completely normal. I’m having another growth scan because he isn’t growing quite as much as they’d like. I’m wondering whether everything together could mean I’m likely to go into labour early again?

Also, why does everyone like chicken? Obviously not for you if you are vegetarian or vegan. My husband said because there's so many ways you can make it, casserole, stewed, curried, baked, grilled, fried, airfried so he will never get bored of it lol

38+2 and wondering if labour might be getting close! 🥹
I’ve been losing bits of my mucus plug for a few days and today there was some brown in it. I’ve also had period-like cramps, lots of pelvic pressure and very intermittent on/off contractions for about 5 days.
Did anyone else have similar symptoms before going into labour? How long was it for you? ❤️

Does anyones has the same "problem". My baby is active but I find it sometimes that he moves a lot other days might be more quiet. I never had a normal pattern this is my second pregnancy and the first was the same. But always make worried.
