lunch meat while pregnant?

Question

My doctor said to avoid lunch meat while pregnant unless it’s heated but I’ve been craving a cold bologna and cheese sandwich 😂 would it be okay to just eat one sandwich or should I just not take the risk?

Answer

I just polished off 1 kg of ice cold bologna on a nice chewy bread over the last week 🤦🏼‍♀️ go for it.

Answer

I definitely have eaten ham sandwiches in my first pregnancy and my current one 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

That's a risk you need to decide for yourself. I don't want to tell you yes and then something unfortunate happens. Personally,  I have had a little cold meat here and there. I'm 37 weeks. Baby boy is perfectly healthy. If you do decide to go for it, I would say just don't over indulge.

Answer

￼￼They have recently advised all pregnant women to heat up lunch meat. A few weeks ago they were saying that the risk of listeria was low, but apparently there has been listeria recently in a lot of the lunchmeat. I would heat it up for now until they say it’s safe again.

Answer

I was obsessed with cold sandwiches. I would heat whatever meat in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute and put it in the fridge to cool  and assemble my sandwich. I was happy and had the peace of mind that I listened to the doctor 😌

I honestly think it's a super rare thing and it's just doctors being over cautious. I ate lunch meat and my baby was just fine.
