So... I'm doing a terrible job following the food recommendations.

I've had Jimmy John's at least twice since becoming pregnant (and since I'm GF right now it's an unwich so I can't easily take the turkey out to warm it to kill bacteria) and I had a Chicago style hot dog yesterday (no regrets that hot dog was TASTY). Oh, and I'm pretty sure I shouldn't have summer sausage either but have had that a couple times.

Anyone else gambling with the food risks and eating all the no-no's?

@inthewoods23 Omg. I'm the worst! I'm eating deli meat and runny eggs all the time.

@inthewoods23 me! 🙋‍♀️ I have never gotten sick from lunch meat and it feels like everything has a listeria risk these days, so I figure in moderation, it’s fine. I’ve had sushi a couple times too. Yum!

my FFFC is that my kids are home and daycare is closed so I went through some toys. I’ve got a bin full of toys to get rid of and they don’t even know (nor will they miss them- lots of happy meal toys and just junky stuff).

@sunshineandlemons lmao, I do that with my husband's stuff all the time!!!

@LJMoon6 @sunshineandlemons we're big on having smoked salmon in our house and when I told DH that it's technically a no no being a smoked food he was like "what all about the scandanavian women who get pregnant? Smoked fish is practically a food group there and they're all fine".

I can tell you that warmed up smoked food is just awful. Totally ruins it. I'd rather risk it.

@inthewoods23 omg I always crave jimmy johns so bad when I'm pregnant. Last time all I wanted was a jimmy johns pepe in the hospital after delivery and there wasn't one close enough to the hospital and because of covid noone could bring it to us either

@inthewoods23 Ahh now I want JJ’s 😋 I’ve also eaten hot dogs and pepperoni

@inthewoods23 Me. And I was a NUT about it in my first pregnancy. It I’ve been so sick and lost so much weight and the food aversions make it really hard to eat. So if it sounds good…. I’m eating it. Lunch meat and hot dogs mainly are the only broken rules. I live in a country with pretty strict food safety guidelines and have gotten this food for years at these places and never had an issue so….. I’m taking the risk. I normally heat the stuff to death in the microwave but I didn’t today. Heated turkey just sounded awful.

I guess actual FFFC I’m not a huge fan of raw sushi anyways so I haven’t done that. But veggie or cooked sushi I’m good with.

So totally anecdotal, but it seems to me that you hear more about listeria outbreaks/recalls
with pre-cut, refrigerated fruit than lunch meat/deli salads.

I totally eat Jimmy Johns, Chicken Salad Chick, and the like on the regular. Now a sandwich tray/scoop of potato salad at the church potluck, not so much…

My two day late FFFC, I don’t like birthday cards. Like I appreciate the sentiment but then I feel obligated to remember to send a card for their birthday and I am *really bad* at it. For instance, I once again forgot to send my mom a card and her birthday is tomorrow. Now, the once off situations like sympathy and wedding cards, I’m good with those. 🤷‍♀️

@twentythree19 Cards do not come in my house. My mailbox is past the trash can, so I open them, read them, and toss them. They just end up being paper clutter.

And I don’t send cards either. Sometimes the kids will make “cards” and I’ll send those. But I don’t think I’ve bought a card in my adult life.

Not birthday cards, but holiday cards - if the card has a sh*t ton of glitter that is just getting everywhere from barely touching the card I toss that in the trash immediately. It does not get hung on my front door. Did that with my aunt's card this year. The entire cover of it was coated in glitter and went everywhere the moment I tried taking it out of the envelope. I basically read it then dropped it into the trash. DH was proud of me haha. He HATES glitter.

I never thought I would be like this, but I am fulfilling the "2nd child" stereotypes. With my first I had the best everything, nursery was done right away, not chancing any bad foods or activities, putting her first in every way. This time around I'm like... ehh, coffee isn't too bad. Oh yummm sushi. We don't need a nursery, they aren't even going to sleep in there at first!
