I seriously can't wait to have a cold cut sandwich as soon as I'm no longer pregnant! A ham and cheese sandwich that doesn't have to be heated! I can't wait :D
@mom2be789, yep, about 10 or 15 seconds. But it's not the same :( lol @madibug96 I miss the medium rare steaks!
if you microwave the lunch meat for a few seconds it kills any bad bacteria that might be on it
unfortunately I actually noticed I felt worse when eating lunch meat so I had to stop. but I'm with ya girl! can't wait to go back to eating what I always ate before haha
I did the same thing with my first pregnancy didn't eat not one it was torture but my new Dr said it was fine so this pregnancy honestly didn't deprive myself but you enjoy that sandwich lol I did!
I've eaten cold cuts through all three of my pregnancies. it's more unpasteurized cheese you have to worry about. I've never had any issues
@allistersmommy, I have the same "no" on cold cuts from my doctors at Duke. I've told my husband to have a cold Italian sub ready for me as soon as I deliver 😂 we were just talking about this yesterday lol.
Also, my pregnancy wasn't a sure thing in the beginning. They gave me a 50 percent chance of a miscarriage. That was resolved at my 16 week appointment and at my 18 week appointment we found out that my little boy wasn't growing the way that he should. So, I'm not taking any chances with my pregnancy. good luck to you ladies!
i eat subway and regular sandwichsa ll the time and my baby girl is growing healthy and strong with nothing wrong
@nessa_475, I haven't eaten any cold deli meats because of the risk of Listeria. I wouldn't feel right doing something my doctor advised me not to do.
I eat cold cut sandwiches all the time. baby boy still healthy with a strong heart beat.
My doctor told me I could eat it as long as It was heated enough to kill bacteria. since pregnant woman are more prone to bacteria even eating it once could be a mistake. So, I just listened to her and followed all of those horrible food rules. I don't have much longer though! @desirae21
I had ask my doctor and nurse about it before I took any chance both said it was fine just not too much once in a while was fine@allistersmommy
@chasityhope1, yeah i craved subway in the beginning! but it was the meatball subs!
