Listeria or anxiety??

I’m pretty sure this is my anxiety talking and am almost too embarrassed to contact my midwife but would welcome a sanity check....

26 weeks pregnant, ate a hot dog (at home) on Saturday at lunchtime. Which I thought was properly reheated. Saturday evening, felt really (really) sick for an hour or two and completely wiped out. Chills, felt like food poisoning.

Had a sore throat all day Sunday. Then diarrhoea this morning (sore throat still present) and feel wobbly.

If this was listeria, I would feel a lot worse, right? And it wouldn’t kick in within hours, would it? I have no temperature or anything. Do I need to ring my midwife or 111?

Listeria comes with flu like symptoms and flu but not always. Speak to your mw urgently - might be something else just as bad.

Midwife doesn’t think it is listeria, thinks it sounds more like a bug.
