Can I really not have a medium steak?

Question

My former go-to celebration meals were steak or sushi and now I don’t know what to do with myself.

Answer

I had a pretty rare steak first trimester. I asked for it to be more done because I was pregnant but they brought it out and it was pretty pink. I ate it anyway lol. 
I also had “sushi” like two weeks ago but like the other commenter said it was of the cooked variety.

Answer

Unpopular answer here, but I ate medium rare steak throughout my entire first pregnancy. My doctor said as long as it’s from a legit place that gets their meat from a reputable source and it’s not some place that could have left it sitting out or something, it’s fine. I ate the crap out of steak. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

i still have mine a little pink inside as usual . and as for sushi i still eat it too. my favorite roll is in like a soy bean wrapper and it’s got crab and avacodo it’s so good. can’t help myself. my OB said it’s fine as long as it’s not like gas station sushi. lol.

Answer

I’d get at least medium well personally, but I also don’t mind mine being cooked more. I doubt medium would be an issue as long as they don’t undercook it

Answer

A lot of people have misconceptions about the color of a cooked steak. People will claim they had "rare" steak when it was pink in the middle. But pink in the middle is medium well. Rare is red.
The issue is that most of the time, medium is fine, but in an off chance you happen to get a piece with parasites, the more it's cooked, the more likely it will kill off the parasites. Medium well (a little pink in the middle) is considered safe. Medium is probably okay, but a little less risky. Medium rare is probably okay for surface bacteria, but may not be for parasites or contamination inside, so you'll be okay if you get a good piece, but maybe not if you get one with an issue. The restaurant doesn't always know what comes from their meat supplier, so saying it's a reputable place doesn't always matter.

Answer

I’ve had a medium well steak and enjoyed it.

I know how you feel!! I love a bit juicy rare steak on the special occasions ☹️ think that’s gonna be my first meal when Iv had baby 😂🤤🥩🥩

Answer

You can have steak. It just needs to be done to 145 degrees. You can also have sushi if you do the cooked varieties, like eel, shrimp, and crab.
