Did you eat deli meat while pregnant?

Question

I know your not suppose to eat it uncooked during pregnancy but I'm craving it ... 😑

Answer

Staying away from Deli meat is kind of an old school way of thinking. You have a higher chance of getting listeria from vegetables. Which is still not a very high chance at all!

Answer

Everyday

Answer

You have a higher chance of getting listeria from fruits and veggies, and nobody tells you to stop eating those. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

Answer

My Ob basically told me that it’s a silly thing to stay away from.  He said a lot of things get “over thought” told me to eat it all I wanted.

Answer

I’ve eaten it twice during my pregnancy (I’m now 34 weeks) but heated it up both times. Friend got listeria while pregnant so I’m not about to risk that just so I can eat cold deli meat.

Answer

Heck yea everyday. I dont like it heated up so i didnt do that either.

Answer

Not at all. Government guidelines for pregnant women where I live say not to do so. I don’t know why people can’t avoid potentially harmful foods for a few months if it might affect the health/safety of their baby 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Definitely not. You cannot see it and i worked with listeria in a lab and its awful, it can grow on anything even your “safe” deli meat... Your only job is to keep your baby safe so why even take that chance just because you crave a sandwich🙄 just heat it up its not that hard.

Answer

Ordered a turkey club last night and it was amazinggggg. Already want another one. I just got it toasted.

Answer

I eat it! I just heat it up in the microwave first.
