I gave in guys 😭

Yummy that looks so good ! And yess girl, one sandwich won't hurt hehe 😋 makes me want a sub sandwich 😆 I'm 21W1D

@Diana girl it’s so good, I dropped a tear. I love McAlisters 😭

Nobody expects you to be perfect and never fall off the wagon. Just stay away from the crack and booze and you're good. You know how hard it was for me to not get KFC every day? The baby made me crave unhealthy stuff!!

@Milan I have never gone there before that is on my bucket list to go to now!

girl that was me eating subway like my life depended on it

@Mary that’s what I was thinking 😂 I was like “atleast it ain’t likka and hard drugs”😂

@Diana DEFINITELY FIND ONE AND TRY ITTTT!

@Tiana cause sandwiches ain’t never been this good until you get pregnant 😂

I ate deli meat all the time and my daughter is healthy. Also ate tuna like 3-4 times a week while pregnant

@Kalie I just ate damn near 4 cans of tuna yesterday and I was like “omggg I don’t think I was supposed to eat that”😭

@Milan that’s literally all I could handle and it was the only thing that kept my blood sugars under control since I had GD

I ate subs 3x a week. You'll be fine. 😊 got 2 healthy babies

@Kalie oh wowww

@Jen I wanna order another one 🫣

I ate subs my WHOLE pregnancy 😂😂 i love a good sandwich and my babies are fine!

@Shaniqua aye, I have 0 sandwich guilt now 😂

@Milan do it.. honestly being listeria from it is rare just make sure the place you go to is clean.

There's just apparently a risk of listeria, you should be fine as long as they're clean. I always got my meat toasted to kill any bacteria that could be on it, at the recommendation of my OB. I couldn't keep anything down but Subway for WEEKS with my son and never had any issues. Lettuce even has listeria risk and honestly there's more outbreaks from that than deli meat from what I'm seeing. I won't even eat a salad even though I've been craving one from Zaxby's my whole pregnancy 😂 I told my husband that's what I want as my first meal after delivery.

Listeria is more of a food safety issue than a lunch meat issue. You can always heat that meat and enjoy!

I had one the other dayyy completely forgetting the deli meat rule😭 all is welll but next time I ate it I had it toasted

@Cheyann yeah I can’t eat my sandwiches untoasted for some reason so I kinda felt better about the decision after I ordered it 😂 I absolutely HAAAAAAAATE lettuce on my sandwiches but I ate a bomb ass salad from Wendy’s the other day. It was super good and I made sure I told them “I need fresh lettuce or you’re going to kill my baby” to guilt them into doing the right thing 😂 the lettuce tasted soooo fresh.

@Joelle definitely gotta have it toasted. I can’t do untoasted sammies 😂😂

@Milan 🤣😂 this is great!

@Milan love that guilt tripping haha

@Mary @ALI I swear it was their reaction for me😂😂😂

@Milan omg, I may have to try that 😂😂😂

@Cheyann do it 😂

we all have cravings but food for thought, deli meat is a carcinogen, i know plenty of people who drank smoked cigarettes or smoked weed and their babies are born fine /healthy . when i was pregnant id ask myself is this best for my baby and thats how i would decide this id the time where your making selfless decisions . suggestion you could chew food then spit it out , im not a soda drinker but with my second baby i had cravings so id swig some in my mouth and spit it out. (im not saying deli meat is equivalent to those substances but they are all carcinogenic)

It's a sandwich, don't beat yourself up over it

@maria oh baby I’m not fenna waste no food 💀 if imma chew it, imma swallow it 💀

@Katie I’m not, lol I don’t feel bad anymore because it was toasted lol

Im try that one cause it looks good. I always get the one that has honey mustard & mayo.

@Jordyn I had honey mustard on it, just no mayo. They cheated me by giving me literally a tongue dip of honey mustard 😂

I heard if you just microwave the meat it’s fine to eat

I’m from the uk and I thought I wasn’t meant to have deli meat and my midwife said it’s more of a us thing it’s not a rule not to have it in the uk. Don’t hold me by that tho but i ate it when i was pregnant and i was fine so if we all eating it over here im sure you should be fine too haha xx

@Lacy im thinking about getting another one tomorrow 😭😭

I worked at jersey mikes when I was pregnant just enjoy the sandwich!!! Also at j. Mikes you can ask them the put any cold sub on the grill if you’re worried!

I miss McAlister’s! That was my brother’s first job. I haven’t seen a location near me in a while. Glad you enjoyed the sandwich! I used to get cold Publix & Subway subs here & there during both pregnancies. Both kids are healthy. An OB I had talked to said she had never heard that pregnant women can’t have cold deli meat lol. Just don’t overdo it I guess.

@Katie I loveeeee Publix sandwiches. The chicken tender sandwich and Cajun turkey sandwich got me in a chokehold

@Cheyann I didn’t even think about the lettuce issue & had a Caesar salad at Olive Garden while being in 3rd trimester lol.

@Milan I’ve basically eaten the same sandwich my whole life from there, except I add spinach now lol. I’ll have to try those!!!

@Katie definitely try them!

I love it how we are part of a big thread about sandwiches. This seems like something a bunch of guys would do 😁😳

@Mary it’s giving Shaggy & Scooby vibes & I’m here for it 🥪

@Katie I didn't think about it last time I was pregnant, but I think I saw an article about an outbreak that happened in between pregnancies. I'm paranoid about any uncooked veggies now even though I was obsessed with baby carrots last time 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

@Mary and I’m perfectly fine with it 😂😂😂 WE’RE THE GUYS NOWWWWW

@Katie LMFAO I LOVE THAAAAT

Awwwwwww mane y'all🤗 I never thought I'd miss Publix but I do!!! I miss those fresh & delicious 😋 deli subs. I miss going to Miami subs and especially Pollo🌴Tropical. The only thing up here that reminds me of South Florida is Dixie hwy. Which I can't believe comes way up here to Chicago 🤯

@Claudette ❤️ girl do not get me started on Miami Subs 😫😫😫 their Phillys are sooooo bomb. I miss Miami so bad. I can’t wait to go home 😭😭

@Milan omg yes girl Meeeee too😭 I miss it everyday it's cold up here 🤣😂
