I eat lunch meats. I avoided them my first pregnancy and the latest listeria recalls have been for bagged salads, and ice cream. Honestly if you avoided everything that "could" be contaminated you would have nothing to eat! Practice safe food handling, wash your fresh produce and avoid sketchy food.

And the meat can also contain salmonella and toxoplasma!

Listeria is found in soil and water, not packaging. So just be careful!!

Pp is right. We hand slice all of our meats and cheese. Also veggies. Honestly i eat it fairly often and my babys healthy so far

Omg.. I want that pickle NOW!!!! Hahahaha.i have looked at this dang picture over and over. I even showed my husband.. and told him that this picture made me so happy.. haha

Thank goodness! It takes too long to heat the meat etc ?

I love their freaky fast delivery. Perfect for pregnant chicks! And PICKLES!!! ???

Jimmy Johns doesn't use prepackaged meats. No need to heat them (listeria is found in the plastic packaging). I eat their sandwiches constantly. Fresh meat, veggies and bread. YUM!

I've never had jimmy johns but now I want it! A hook and ladder from firehouse is my go-to sub ?

Omg. I work at jimmy johns lol

@Erin no I just take the meat off and heat it up. I know it can still be contaminated on the bread but I really haven't cared too much. The sandwiches help curb my cravings for burgers and Mexican food lol. I've gained 6-7lbs already and asked my Dr about it because I was concerned. She told me I'll gain more in the next 4 weeks then it'll slow down after. Says it's because I'm taking progesterone and normal. Thank god. ?

The pickle was the best part! Orgasmic ? I like mine cold too so I'll heat up the meat and chill it in the fridge after.

I ate jimmy johns multiple times a week with my first and third kiddos!! It was all I could stomach. I must be the worst mother ever, but I have never heated up my deli sandwiches. I've always eaten the meat cold and I have 3 very healthy kids. Maybe I'm just weird. ??‍♀️ BUT those pickles are incredible. Probably going to get one tomorrow now. Lol

Oh my now I want that pickle and the sandwich ?

But you had Jimmy Johns heat it?

Firehouse steams their meat! I just found that out and plan on taking a trip there soon. I need turkey!

@Erin yes. You can heat up the meat in a pan. Some do it in the microwave

I ate Subway almost everyday with my 2nd pregnancy!

A sandwhich sounds SO good right now!

Okay, so I'm asking this not to be a Debbie Downer but because I WANT THAT SANDWICH: Are you eating their deli meats??

Lmaoo almost bettter then sex at that time ?

Girl I'm telling you,,, I bit into that pickle and it was almost sexual for me ????

Omgg that pickle looks so good .?

I ate Jimmy John's every single day when I was pregnant with my now 2 year old son ? that was my first meal after he was born as well , I made my dad stop on the way to the hospital lol
