Left overs??

Question

So is it true you're not supposed to eat left overs while pregnant?? I don't have money to get fresh food and stuff everyday!

Answer

It's the same risk for anyone eating leftovers. You just shouldn't leave them sitting out because then you leave the possibility of bacteria growing. So the general rule is that pregnant women shouldn't eat anything left out for two hours or more.

Answer

I am the leftover queen. I have never heard of that.

Answer

That's crazy eat your left overs

Answer

Just make sure you reheat them to at least 160° to kill any possible bacteria!

Answer

Just make sure you heat it well. Same with lunch meats. They can carry listeriosis which won't harm you but can harm the baby. Microwaving until it is hot to the touch will kill bacteria.

Answer

reheat it till its super hot & make sure you store the food properly,  covered & refrigerated then you'll be fine :)

Answer

It's because of the risk of ingesting bacteria that could be growing on the food. Anyone has that risk, but a pregnant woman's immune system isn't as strong as someone's who isn't pregnant

Answer

I eat leftovers all the time.... I have never heard of this. Hmmm I learn something new everyday

Answer

Depends. If you get leftovers, do not put them in a stirafoam container. If you can get them in the fridge within 10 mins, you are fine.
