Ate lettuce while pregnant on accident
I ordered Mexican received beans without cheese. And I ate almost all of them and felt a crunch so I pulled it out and it was a piece of lettuce I spit it out and stopped eating it. I’m scared I’m gonna get listeria. I’m 20 weeks
Everyone is making jokes in the comment. It’s recommended to stay away from lettuce while pregnant because of the chance of listeria which can be a deadly bacteria for the fetus. I’m not worrried about me I’m worried about my baby
🚨EDIT🚨
1.) yes I know cheese is allowed I personally don’t eat Mexican cheese while pregnant personal choice because there is a risk. I’m not willing to take
2.) yes lettuce is healthy I get that. But the most recalled thing on the market for listeria is lettuce so yeah I’m gonna avoid it. I asked a yes or no question no need to be rude.
3.) it’s YOUR CHOICE EHAT YOU DO. Yes it’s a small chance and rare but your 10x more likely to get it while pregnant so yeah I’m gonna avoid something that could hurt MY BABY. And was shocked and scared to find it in my food.
4.) this is my 2nd pregnancy, I’m not being dramatic, it’s a bigger risk and again I’m not willing to take it over food lol,
5. I never said I don’t eat cheese lol, like I swear some people don’t. Read my post fully.
I said I don’t eat Mexican cheese like ex. Queso, etc. it’s authentic Mexican food where I live and don’t know if it’s pasteurized.
I eat cheese and milk products lol.
