Lunch meat

I'm curious how many moms out there ate lunch meat while pregnant. Everything I've read says not to, but sandwiches are pretty much my favorite thing,  so I'm just wondering if this is an actual risk or not. Let me know! Thanks ladies!

Listeria can be found in fresh produce  such as your fruits and veggies and in alot of other foods such as lunch meat. This is my third pregnancy and this listeria scare was not around with my other two children. We can't not eat,but with all the scare tactics it's any wonder we can eat at all.  talk to your doctor find out their recommendations. My doctor said lunch meat is fine as long as it is heated.
