I've eaten deli meat sandwiches, sushi, drank caffeine, etc. Me and baby are perfectly healthy. She's due in a couple weeks. I know that doesn't mean every woman and baby turned out the same, I'm just sharing my personal experience. My doctor basically said anything in moderation is okay. We're pregnant, not terminally ill. Pregnant women did all that stuff before doctors theorized it may not be safe. Lol babies born in the 90s didn't die from their moms eating deli meat, and Japanese women laugh in your face for worrying about sushi during pregnancy. You'll get different opinions! From different people and different doctors too.

Even though some babies are fine that doesn't mean a risk was not taken.  Doctors tell us not to do certain things during pregnancy for a reason.

People are always saying to microwave it.. But that sounds horrible to me. I've eaten plenty of sandwiches with deli meat straight from the fridge throughout my pregnancy, and baby is just fine.

My doctors say its ok once in a while, but I know a lot say how dangerous it is. Honestly I haven't eaten it at all because it sounds nasty to me now!

I "fry" mines. Just put it in a pan and cook on medium till it basically fries, don't add anything to the pan, the "meat juice" will allow it to cook properly. Salami tastes AWESOME this way
