yeah she only gave in to it one time and got a turkey foot long. an hour after she ate half of it she went to the er for vomiting non stop. she started bleeding and they said baby didnt make it. now it wasn't confirmed that the listeria caused the baby to pass but they did find listeria and her ob said its more than likely but cant be sure.
ladies always say they eat it and are fine, while yes most are, it still can happen to anyone at anytime. easy way to prevent is to avoid the foods altogether.
same goes with alcohol, why can't people wait the almost ten months before drinking again. wouldn't it be terrible if you had one glass and then lost your baby. .. it's not common but it can happen. it breaks my heart.

OMG I know!! I get so angry when ladies on here are posting about eating sandwiches from places such as subway and you can tell it's not a veggie one either. I'm just a paranoid freak and have been staying far away from all the stuff on the DONT eat list. It's only 9 months out of your life. The safest thing for baby is the best thing for baby!! And very sorry to hear about your sister that's so sad!

that's so great to hear you do!!! I cant even stress enough how important it is to take measures into making sure baby is safe. I crave lunch meat all the time but I dont eat it. my sister went through he** when she caught it from a turkey sandwich. that scared me enough to realize just how easily its caught and how most woman still eat cold lunch meat :(
im with ya, I can wait ten months :)

So sorry to hear that! I am super diligent about it! I have not had one bite of cold lunch meat. And I make sure my bacon is extra crispy. It's so easy to just follow the food and medication rules for 10 months and not risk anything.
