subway when prego

[babybrown2]

What's your thoughts on eating subway when pregnant I only like lunch meat and I hate it warm is it ok to eat only this one time ?

I askedy Dr. and she said the risk is very very low, that it got popular not to eat it years ago when there was a listeria outbreak in one of the lunch meat factories. I was told that it is fine and if I was worried to nuke it for 10 seconds in the microwave. I have been eating at Firehouse subs. They steam their meat bit I would have a cold one if I was craving it!

Although I don't eat much lunch meat (I must admit I like a hot ham and cheese on occasion) I LOVE eggs over easy. I have to have it. So yummy!

They say it increases the risk of listeria due to a decrease in your immune system secondary to pregnancy. I myself don't eat it, but I'm not crazy about lunch meat to begin with. My best friend is also pregnant and she eats it all the time with no issues. I know other cultures eat sushi and even soft cheese. Their babies are all fine:)

That's all I craved with my first child I ate it at least once a week and he is fine.

I ate subway the whole first pregnancy with no problems with it and this pregnancy I am 35 weeks and no problems I can't stay away from it they are so good as long as they are cold

Oh I've enjoyed deli meat with all my pregnancies from Subway.  Until this pregnancy and this app I had never even heard of this before.   So I figure if it didn't hurt me before im going to keep on enjoying my sandwich.

Thanks ladies!

It increases listeria risk a little. That said I know plenty of women who continue to eat sandwiches and a lot who have never even heard if avoiding deli meat. Your choice but I would say the risk is very small. (I say this as I sit eating runny eggs for breakfast... Which a lot of people have also not heard of not eating.)

Some will say yes others will say only if its heated. I don't like it heated either and I've been eating it.
