I eat it all the time, I'm fine, my baby's fine. Matter of fact for lunch I ate 3 hawaiian roll sandwiches with cold deli meat.
Before I found out that u were not supposed to eat cold deli meats I ate it to and I'm still doing good so I would say its okay just be sure not to eat it again as I know I won't until after I deliver!!! Congrats on your pregnancy :)
The only reason they recommend not to is cuz of bacteria that grows on deli meat when you buy your meat microwave it for a min or two in the package and it will kill off the bacteria that grows on the meat and you wont have to worry about heating it up again

You can have deli meats under certain conditions. If your deli seems up to par with their cleanliness and their refrigerator is at the proper temp in which the listeria bacteria doesn't grow, deli meats are perfectly safe. Just don't eat deli meats that seem to have been sitting out for some time.
Im a first time mom and scared about everything guess that's why i said I won't eat it until after I deliver lol
I eat subs all the time my baby is fine
thank you ladies!!! I ate them and then got worried and my boyfriend said I should be okay since I hardly eat them cold since I found out the doctors recommend you not to, I just didn't think of it and was afraid! i don't worry to where I stress about stuff but I'm a huge worry bug! haha
Me personally, I decided not to eat them until I deliver but only because I know if I did, I would obsess that I was that 1 in 1000000 that got the bad sandwich and I'll end up sick. Lol. But I know it's perfectly safe as long as you're observant of the conditions of the meat. For me it's just not worth the unnecessary head ache I'll give myself. I am a worry wart by default :-( lol
I'm sure you'll be fine. If you start to feel sick or anything defiantly go to the drs though. Cold cuts and things like that could contain listeria which could harm you and your baby. You're a lot more likley to get it while you're pregnant which is why they say to avoid it. I personally stopped eating everything like that but that's just because I worry so much and just want my baby to be perfectly healthy.
