Craving a cold sub but deli meat is bad while pregnant..so I've read, but geesshhh i want one bad anyone ate it anyway?

[babyaug15]

Ohh i am the only one so turned off of deli meat! I cant even stand the look of it.

I just had a prenatal appointment and my fiancé asked about deli meat.. she said it was made up! So yesterday I had a ham and cheese sandwich.. delicious.

This is my 4th pregnancy and i ate deli meat with all of them. I did my own research as to why that advice is out there. It is because of a possibility of getting listeria.  then i went to see what other foods have that potential.  LOTS of them do (like fruits and veggies too but you never hear anyone telling you not to eat them), not just deli meat. So then i went to do research on the last listeria outbreak occured in deli meat. Yeah it is unsound advice. Enjoy that sandwich!!!!!

Go to Publix if it's close to you. I eat a cold cut about twice a month lol. Doesn't hurt unless the meat looks funny

[niki137]

My Dr said as long as it is very fresh and a good reputable brand, it is OK. The example they gave me is a boars head sub from Publix.

The "don't eat deli meat" thing stemmed off of one case of Listeria bacteria problems back in the 80s-90s when deli meat was questionable anyways.  I've had a sandwich or two when I crave, I've even had sushi a few times.  As long as it's a reputable source that you're comfortable with no need to deprive yourself.  Everything in moderation,  including moderation.

Im high risk and have been super careful throughout my pregnancy. I see my regular dr, a nurse practitioner, or a maternal fetal medicine specialist dr once every week. My doctor says i read too much.  The specialist who is head of my local level 3 hospital maternal fetal medicine center said that cold meat is fine in moderation.  I was so happy to hear that because I was craving Jimmy Johns super bad for weeks and weeks. Since i was given the ok about 5 weeks ago I've had 3 JJ sandwiches.  Lol. Good luck to you and if you're super concerned about it i suggest asking your dr. I wish i would have asked sooner!

Eat it!! I always eat subway...chicken fillet with ham and ranch n mayo dressing mmmmm yum its making me want one now too lolz i even eat cheesecake from the cheesecake shop but I wont eat it the 2nd day thats all.

[whit1002]

Thanks ladies i prayed and ate the sub today! I felt sooo much better..now i wont eat one for a while

[Kathy2015]

I eat deli meat still. It never harmed either of my other two children. They say not to eat hot dogs either. I was craving ham a lot earlier in my pregnancy. I just try to limit how much of it I eat. Since I have the rest of my family to feed as well if I get 2 sandwiches out of a pound I'm lucky. Then I won't eat any for a week or 2.

[whit1002]

Thank you ladies! @0_LING_0 yeah i dont want mine heated..I'm going to try ome today yall i just cannot resist any longer

[asamya]

[zanbreari]

I'm pregnant with my 4th right now & am just now hearing about it not being good...at the beginning of this pregnancy my craving was deli sliced ham & I ate it nearly every day, with my 1st baby my craving was an Italian sub (and had them quite often with this one too)....never had a single problem!

[whit1002]

Lol thanks ladies....I want one like rightttt now lol..I'm going to pray and get one tomorrow:) 1 will not hurt!

[soon2bemama619]

My baby is perfectly healthy. I didn't get sick after at all i was perfect cuz I got my craving lol

[BbyV]

I had a cold cut sandwich in the first few weeks of my pregnancy before it was confirmed that I was pregnant... I'm 16 weeks now. By baby is growing healthy inside of me. I think it'll be fine if you don't eat one regularly.

[ExcitedAprilMommy]

you could let it cool down after *shrug* that would probably work, as long as its heated up in the first place
