Listeria

Ugh thank you so much that’s helpful to hear.

As long as it’s cooked your good deary at least that what I was told by my OB ❤️ tbh I ate an entire pack of lunchmeat from Walmart without heating it up. The risk is LOW but there. 🥰

Ugh I needed to hear this too. I’m 34 weeks and gave in and had a sub yesterday.. I am a bit sick today (99.9 fever and diarrhea) but my doctor’s nurse line said just drink pedialyte and rest, stomach bugs happen

Hi Jenny! Honestly there is no reason to panick or feel guilty. My OB debunked this theory when we asked him about it. The myth goes back in the day when there wasn’t much regulation on slicers shared my raw meat and deli meat. So you can enjoy your cold subs and you can also eat 5 fish meals a week as long as it’s cooked.

If you want to do some research on our OB, he’s known for being super involved in research and has a few world records for innovations in female surgery.

His name is Gregory Marchand, MD

Midwife told me there’s honestly no reason to avoid deli meat unless it’s been like sitting in the sun for like 3 hours lol. Most grocery stores and deli places keep their meats fresh and clean because standards are obviously higher than like 20 years ago. I wouldn’t be worried about it!

Appreciate you ladies so very much. Thank you for the peace of mind. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The likeliness of you getting listeria is sooooo small. I’ve ate deli meats my entire pregnancies all 3 times I’ve been pregnant

Listeria is super rare, even in pregnant women. You’ll be fine. Just don’t eat it deli meat everyday

don’t stress. it’s more of a precautionary thing to tell us. it’s not a big deal honestly. listeria is supppperrr rare. and as long as your buying from a reputable and clean place, there’s no reason for concern. i ate cold cuts my entire second pregnancy bc i craved them like no other.
try not to worry about what you eat. things you buy in store and get at a restaurant are held to certain standards. the company can be held responsible and liable for anything that arises from consuming their product. so things like sauces, dressings, cheeses and stuff are pasteurized. just avoid undercooked meat, seafood, and eggs. you don’t really have to restrict you diet while pregnant
