Medium rare steak 😭😭 Is my baby ok?

Question

I ordered a steak dish and was too hungry to consider the effects it might have on my baby. I’m 28 weeks. It was from a high end restaurant and it was flank steak cut into cubes. I ate maybe 1/2 cup of steak that was undercooked but seared on the outside. I’m scared.

Answer

Your baby should be fine :)

Answer

Baby should be totally fine! I ate medium rare steak while pregnant. My daughter was born perfectly healthy!

Answer

You would know by now if you had picked-up any food born illnesses.

Answer

Totally okay!

Answer

You're fine. It was still cooked. Beef isn't like pork or poultry. Rare steak is fine. You just don't want ground beef to have pink in the middle.

Answer

I wouldn’t worry about it.

Answer

If it's a little pink in the middle, it's safe to eat. Medium rare (very red) is risky if you happen to get a contaminated piece with parasites etc it may not cook off, but that's pretty rare. If you start to feel sick contact your dr, but it should be fine!
