Does anyone eat lunch meat during pregnancy? I know its kind of a stupid question but it says we are not supposed to eat it while pregnant.
Just don't eat it. Why risk it? Yes it's 1 in a million or so but why? Listeria scare is an actual worry it's not like it's a dumb thing to worry like "can I be on my phone near a belly because it might disturb the babies development" (I do think there is still an article about that though )
You can eat lunch meat and be totally fine. The problem isn't the lunch meat itself. There would only be a problem if the lunch meat was contaminated with listeria, but most likely it won't be. I haven't eaten any tho just cause I worry about everything. I have, however, eaten bean sprouts and drank raw juice without knowing that has a small risk of listeria and we're all ok over here'
The risk is with listeria, but it's rare to get. Really there's a risk with anything we eat 😒
@mell_babie12, I didn't but I also wasn't craving it. The majority of listeria & other food illnesses are mostly coming from fresh/frozen fruits& veggies. At this point, I would be more hesitant to have a smoothie from tropical smoothies or a salad from anywhere.
it's not that you aren't supposed to. it's that if you do you are supposed to warm it up first. I forget and just eat it normally.
Lunch meat was actually the one thing I religiously stayed away from. Deli stuff harbors lots of bacteria and I didn't want to chance it while pregnant.
@mell_babie12, only get it freshly cut at the deli don't buy it prepackaged and enjoy! 😍😍😍
I didn't eat it in my first or second trimester. But I've eaten it in my third, and everything is fine
okies. i really just want a ham sandwich haha. like soo badly. @mrs_velez and @rmreed
I always heat mine up. Definitely not as good but, I'd rather be safe than sorry :/

Yeah I do lol, I got over the fear of it and now it's nice every once in a while.
I eat it cold I just make sure I go to the deli and get it freshly cut and eat it off before the week ends so I buy a small amount of it. if I let it sit in the refrigerator to long I'll second guess it and throw it away to make sure I don't harm my little one if it started to go bad
I never had mine warmed either. And I also never got sick. I loved subway while I was pregnant!
Oh my whole last two pregnancies never got sick once. But everyone's different. I do know it's supposed to be warmed tho!
Baby sleep
Now to get stoned and watch scary movies while eating cereal 😊😊
Well deserved 👌🏽
heartburn anyone ... uugg can't enjoy food anymore ... 😖😔😭 "to eat or not to eat " 😫😧
My husband won't eat leftovers 😒 he'll only eat them for his work lunch the next day but not dinner again. So while the kids ate left overs he went all the way to the grocery store to pick up a can of chili 😂🙄 anybody else weird like that and don't eat leftovers? Lol
One food you love most!
What's one food you can never get tired of eating.

What is everyone eating for dinner?
We're eating this 😍😍
I ate it my first pregnancy all the time, never warm. I almost lived off it for breakfast and lunch the first time around. This pregnancy I can't eat anything without being nauseous. But my little one turned out fine.
