Anxiety around going out to eat in pregnancy

Hi everyone, I am looking for help and to help. I am 6 months pregnant, based in London, and have been struggling to go out to restaurants because of food anxiety. I have been sassed by restaurant staff for asking questions about the food, like is the meat fully cooked throug etc., or about cheese. And I wanted to solve this for myself, and for others who feel the same. I made this map where you can pin restaurants where you went and asked staff to confirm suitability of dishes for pregnancy, and did not have a hard time doing it, as in the people were accomodating and you confirmed the food is suitable for you. I'd like to make this into a community help project, but I need other moms to contribute. Would you be interested in that? If yes, I'll share the details, I know it's strict moderation against promotions, but it is truly a passion project for me, I want to help those in the same boat with me. Let me know!

Post this on the pregnancy forum. This forum is for people who are contemplating ending their pregnancy or exploring those options.

I think if you have anxiety about eating out then avoid eating out for a while. And if the anxiety persists then discuss it with your midwife. And read the guidelines about what food pregnant women should avoid.
