Deli Meats/Cold Cuts

I've read that being pregnant you shouldn't eat cold cuts or deli meats because of possibly getting Listeriosis.

Listeriosis is caused by Listeria monocytogenes, a type of bacteria & is a food poisoning. Listeriosis is especially dangerous during pregnancy. But I've also read that the possibility of getting it is so low so an occasional sabdwich is okay. Has anyone talked to their doctors about it? Have you or will you eat deli meats taking the chance? Or is it a no go for you?
