ham sandwich?

Question

so i’m 31 weeks, and i just ate a deli ham and cheese sandwich, after i ate it my mom said i’m not supposed to eat that ?? i haven’t ate it at all during pregnancy this is the first time, is it really bad? is it gonna hurt the baby???!

Answer

You’re fine. I’ve never followed that rule. They warn women not to eat cold cuts because of the risk of listeria, however you can get that from vegetables as well. It’s a very low risk to begin with. I wouldn’t worry.

Answer

There’s just a very small change of getting listeria if the ham happened to be contaminated. During pregnancy your immune system isn’t as strong as usual so more likely to get sick from it. But ideally, your meat is contaminated in the first place. It’s not likely, just a better safe than sorry thing. I’m sure you are just fine & would already be feeling sick if you did contract it.

Answer

I’ve been eating ham, but not from a deli. I’m fine.

Answer

no it’s not bad. they warn you about it but also it’s more about like ham salad and chicken salad and stuff like that.

Answer

You should be fine I ate turkey with all 3 of my pregnancies. If it worries you that much don’t eat it anymore or heat it up before
