Lunch meat can carry listeria. It is rare and lots of people will say "I had it and everything was fine" but there are heartbreaking stories of women who had it and everything was NOT fine. Yes it's rare but it's kind of like playing russian roulette with your baby's health. I know I'm more comfortable doing everything I can to keep baby safe. I like to stay in control of the dangers I can because there are so many we can't do anything about. :)
I eat lunch meat often and so did my mom, all my aunts, my sister, my cousin and everyone is just fine. If you're worried about it nuke the lunch meat for 15 seconds in the microwave.
It can carry a bacteria called listeria that can be deadly for the baby. @caseysmommy @meganalyssa
yes it is and I had the same thing for lunch 😋
Sorry I'm not trying to scare you or anything. I'm sure everything is fine! Just skip it for the rest of pregnancy! I think many women are uninformed about the reasons we can't have lunch meat so I like to spread the word :)
