Cold Sandwiches??

Question

I had no idea you weren't suppose to eat cold sandwiches during pregnancy. I've been eating them every so often , maybe once a week, this whole time. I'm 27 weeks & everything has seemed fine every dr appt I've had, so should my baby be okay?

Answer

You're more likely to catch Listeria from raw vegetables than from lunch meat.

Answer

I ate cold sandwiches all the time when I was pregnant and had no problems. Just go to a reputable place

Answer

Yup, the risk is with Listeria but if you haven't contracted it so far you are fine. Listeria is rare but can cause a miscarriage. I've contracted it when I was pregnant at a restaurant and it's super nasty.

Answer

It's the type of thing where 99.9% of the time the meat is fine, but if you happen to eat one with listeria then you can miscarry/have a stillbirth. I'm paranoid so I got a veggie and cheese sub, or tuna, or have them heat up the sandwich.

Answer

I eat and ate cold lunch meat threw all of my three pregnancies. I think it's fine
