Deli meat
Any moms eat deli meat without heating it up.. I'm 36 weeks and haven't eatin any deli meat without heating it up but I hate the way it taste so yesterday I couldn't take it and gave in and ate a deli meat sandwich and didn't heat it.. It tasted so good that I ate another one.. I'm a little worried though
My husband got horrible food poisoning from subway so we don't eat there, prego or not. I did read in my prego book that you are not supposed to eat deli meat while pregnant. I lovve Turkey sandwiches but I Am a worry wart and this is my first baby so I personally am just not going too Cuz I don't wanna risk anything and its only nine months. But alot of woman do eat it. I did eat fried bolagna though and it was delicious! This is just me though.. It's up to you if you wanna eat it or not. :)
Pineapple??? Miscarriage??? What? I been eating it since I got pregnant, on daily basis! I'm 33 weeks now!
Apparently it causes miscarriage... But with my second daughter I swear its all I ate
What's wrong with pineapple?
you need to heat up to 160 degrees
but microwaves kill stuff pretty quick

I was told to make sure to heat deli meat up for 10 seconds. 10 seconds in the microwave barely heats it, so it still tastes cold, like regular deli meat. I've been doing this my whole pregnancy and my baby is healthy!
1/3 of listeria infections occur in pregnant women
infections take a month to start showing symptoms - which make the source of infection hard to trace
but leading causes are unpasteurized queso fresco (not that lilkely to encounter) and DELI TURKEY, then deli ham
it really can come from almost anywhere including unwashed fruits and veggies alfalfa sprouts very commonly carry a great number of food born bacteria
listeria infections cause miscarriage, pre-term labor, still borns and death

I never heat it up when I eat it... my daughter and I survived my 1st pregnancy 4 years ago and that wasnt something anybody heard of yet so I didn't do anything different this pregnancy except deal with GD-- ugh!!
Listeria wasnt first recognized until the 20s and it can be in any jind of contaminated soil or meat hence the FDA requires any place with meats shut down every 24hrs of production for sanitation and they recommend u wash all fruits n veggies. Its not just a dark moist place thing it does well between 39 degrees Fahrenheit and about 99 degrees. They caution pregnant women against eating things cuz hello pregnant women have a weakened immune system and listeria (there are 10 species of it) can pass to rhe placenta thus affecting baby which im pretty sure no mom wants. A good sanitizer is alcohol based cleaners. U cant see it so just avoid situations where u can get it I get subway sandwichs alot but I get them extra toasted and leftovers I microwave to steaming. And women saying I ate a cold sandwich and baby is fine, how do u really know that except for u feel kicks here n there u can be asymptomatic with listeria. Not trying to be rude just stating facts do ur research ive read up on it cuz I was a worrywart with my first and ive worked in 2 different industrial food processing plants.
I've had many sandwiches this pregnancy and the last one I didn't know that it's was even "bad" until this app! But that hasn't stopped me I love them and I'm fine! But to each there own!
I've eaten cold deli meat a few times since I've been pregnant and no problems here. Just don't over do it like eat it everyday
The smell of lunch meat actually makes me want to vomit, so i'm not eating it.
I'm not saying lunch meat is in anyway linked to death in childbirth, but saying that it was allowed in the 1920s isn't a valid argument for saying it poses no risk. Since we have 100 years worth of medical progress since then. Things like anti-biotics and vaccines, ultra sounds
There are studies that so a strong link between listeria and complication and birth defects, which is why the recommendation was made. Pregnant women are more likely to contract it because the stress of pregnancy weakens out immune systems.
I had posted if the sandwich is fresh and from a clean place it is probably fine to eat, but just don't get the pre made sandwich from shelf or vending machine, since who knows how long it has been there.
Our immune systems are not getting weaker because of pregnancy food restrictions, it is actually the over use of disinfectants and anti-bacterial soaps. Food poisoning doesn't strengthen the immune system - i had hemergatic Ecoli when i was 16, hospitalized for 3 days because i was throwing up water and pooping blood. Ever since then i have an extremely sensitive digestive system, very common post serious food poisoning, stress, hormonal changes cause problems for me - i would not wish this on anyone.
You do not want food poising while pregnant, it does pose a real risk!

Before this pregnancy I never heard of not eatin cold sandwiches. I ate them, didn't get sick, and my baby turned out fine...born 3 weeks ago today and healthy.
Ok yes I'm not saying nut allergies didn't exsit I said where the Hell did they all come from.... To the point where no nuts what so ever.... This is new the degree of the allergy.... My whole point is the more advanced we get the less we can eat.... No one has faith in their bodies anymore.... It's all about what the Dr says.... I seen a woman come into the hospital with a cold .... Crying like she was going to die.... Like come on.... This is crazyness
Also in the 20s childbirth was still the leading cause of death for women. 25% of women up until the 20th century used to die in childbirth
So yes women have been having babies forever, but at great risk

They also smoking was a good idea because it is easier to give birth to a smaller baby
It actually bugs me when I see this... Because everyone is so worried about it and forget our bodies are the most wonderful thing.... It can fight cancers and everyday sicknesses.... People strt passing this crap around that it can give your baby brain damage or have a still born.... 9x out of 10 the reason for a stillborn is chromosomes and not caused by anything we ate or did... I seen someone say if we lift out arms above our heads something happens to tthe babies.... I have never heard this crap.... And shame on women for following it up.... Woman have been having babies for thousands of years and as advanced as we are we can't have punch meat.... But I'm sure in the 20's they didn't say hey no lunch meat or pineapple.... No women had faith in their bodies.... Crazy
I had friends in school that were allergic to peanuts, my mom is allergic to peanuts too. It is nothing new. Three had been an increase in peanut allergies do to over exposure at a young age, peanut oil usedto be in everything! Now not so much,so it should be lessening. But I don't think there was a time that epi pens were only for bee stings, nut allergies are nothing new, just now fewer kids die
I'm so sorry but this just sounds ridiculous! With my first 2 pregnancies I ate cold lunch meat and they are both healthy and smart and I'm sure all our parents ate cold lunch meat and we're all fine. I've never heard of anyone pregnant having this happen to them. This must be something new cuz a year ago my sister & sister n law were both pregnant and they ate cold lunch meat and both my baby nieces are very smart healthy happy babies! Just my opinion tho
My doctor recommends roasting a boneless chicken breast & slicing it thin for Sandwiches. There's no risk of listeria contamination. Just eat the leftovers within 3 days.
Its just another one of the things that change with the time eat what you want just use common sense
That's not entirely true. You can have listerosis without any symptoms-in fact its Something we're exposed to on a regular basis without symptoms. Even if you don't have symptoms, the bacteria can affect the baby causing distress, miscarriage & still birth. While it isn't comon, it is a risk. Its up to you whether or not you think its worth the risk.
Depends where you get it. If it is nice and fresh, it is probably okay. But a ready made one on the store shelf, no way
I didn't eat it at all in the 1st 1/2 of my pregnancy but now I have been having 1 cold meat sandwich a week. My Dr said as long as you aren't eating it all the time it should be ok.
