Answer

My doc said today that she has only seen one case or listeria in 35 years. She said in moderation they are fine!! I had one today because she said I could and it was glorious ☺️ Don't fret! ❤️

Answer

I asked my doctor about this and she said if it's sliced fresh in front of you, you should be fine. It's recommended not to eat the deli meet that is packaged or pre-sliced because it's more susceptible to contamination.

Answer

I eat less sandwiches then I used to, but still have the occasional ham sandwich at subway because I can't live without subway. I don't trust delis, but places like subway keep the meat and coolers and they move a Ton of meat in a day so I figure it's probably safe.

Answer

I initially avoided deli meat but lately I've been craving Italian sandwiches. Just be wise about the place your getting the meat from and if you want have it toasted or cooked alittle bit it's safer.

Answer

That makes me feel better! Not much I can do about it now I guess. I'm def emotional today. Im almost (what my husband would call ) 911 worthy lol.

Answer

I eat deli meat all the time... Did with my first pregnancy too and she was completely normal.

Answer

Your chances of getting listeria are the same as before you were pregnant. Very very low, but if you do somehow contract it then that could be bad. But you've probably been eating deli meat your whole life, if you haven't got it by now you probably won't. Just stay away from questionable deli places :-) I want a sandwich for breakfast now haha

Answer

Deli meat is ok. Not everyone knows you can't eat it so can't be that bad. I think it's just any food that's been sat there ALL day is not great like all you can eat Buffett. I accidentally are cream cheese the other day which was stuffed in some cheesey mushrooms I brought and I've been fine xx

Answer

Answer

I have been eating deli meat too and haven't worried too much about it. I try to heat it up if it's possible but...sometimes you just have to have a cold sandwich!  You'll be just fine :)
