I want a ham sandwich but everyone says no deli meat — I'm 5 weeks, is it really that bad?

u can have deli meat as long as u heat it up

You're fine. Just make sure it's heated through.

toasted ham sandwiches are bomb as fuck! 😍

Heat any cold cuts until steaming.

Omg just eat it. This is the most ridiculous rule I have ever heard. I have never known anyone to get terribly sick or die from sandwich meat. http://www.everydayfamily.com/slideshow/5-pregnancy-myths-cant-eat-lunch-meat-things-thought-knew/

I never heated mine and I have a healthy 3 month baby boy and currently pregnant (6 weeks) and I eat it all the time

heat up meat!

okay ive never heated it up, i also dont eat it often. the reason they say heat it up is because theres something in them that can be very harmful to babies. if you wanna know whats best for yourself look up why they say that and figure out if its worth it for you.

I had never heard of this before. I ate deli meat throughout both of my pregnancies with no issues @claire525

@mom-09-16, I thought it was super strange when I read it lol. but good to know :)

Yeah I've seen it a couple times on here and i don't understand. It's weird @claire525

No deli meat unless it's heated up
