Please have the sandwich honey! It’ll be ok. Really. Maybe if it’s pre-packaged and not the kind you have the deli person cut. Does this mean you won’t eat a sub (Subway) or anything? Hot dogs? It’s ok, go for it!

Oh, I would TOTALLY play Cupcake Fairy. I love bringing people food, but I always want to hang it on the doorknob and sneak away. I'm enjoying Love and Other Near-Death Experiences by Mil Millington. My OB said that microwaving deli meat would eliminate the danger---but the thought of microwaving deli meat made me gag. Swistle's last blog post..Group Effort: It's Time!

I gave up lunch meats too when I was pregnant and of course that’s all I ever wanted. After I had the baby? I practically ate an entire deli all by myself.

I suggest using that sandwich as motivation to push. Have someone holding that sandwich in front of you, saying you can have it as soon as you get her out. Quickest. Labor. In. History.

The reason why they don't recommend deli meat is because of miscarriage issues (so really it is only an issue in the beginning of your pregnancy). You can have deli meat as long as you heat it first, microwaving it for less than a minute will kill the bacteria, I can't remember what the OB told me the exact time was, but I know it was less than a minute. And, AndreAnna is right, the longer you keep deli meat the more bacteria will grow on it. Melanie's last blog post..First bath!
