trying not to worry but need some help!

edited October 2011 in Pregnant
For Halloween I went to a party and ate some short ribs believing the fact that its safe to eat. After eating some pieces I noticed that many of my remaining pieces were still very red on the inside! Im trying so hard not to worry because everyone here gets annoyed when I bring up something I'm worried about, especially food! I'm sure I ate a good amount of the undercooked meat, and I'm wondering if it would harm my baby in any way? Pls help!!

  • If you aren't feeling sick your fine. They only say not to eat it in case of food poisoning.
    I ate red meat while pregnant and my son is fine. Don't stress yourself :)
  • @LittleFae thanks so much for the reassurance sweetie!! I'm trying to break the habit of being a worry wart, but this is my first pregnancy and everyone here doesn't understand I just don't want to put my baby at risk. Do you know how long after I ate would I be able to tell I'm fine? I googled it and got nervous because it said something about symptoms don't show till weeks later =\

    I agree with LittleFae. I only eat my steak medium-rare and I ate alot while pregnant with all three of my beautiful healthy babies :-D So Im sure everything is just fine!
  • @xRaex aw don't feel bad! I completely understand I'm a first time mom as well. I just asked my own mom all of these questions since she has had seven kids :) never feel bad about asking a question no matter how annoying it might be. Though for the future if you want you can always send a message to me. Ill start keeping an eye on my box.

    For food poisoning I would say the first 24 hours. When ever I've had it, it was always the first few hours when the food starts to digest. So since you ate it last night and feel fine today I would say you're fine. :)
  • @blessedness_x3 awe thanks for your help. I'm glad your children are very healthy!

    @LittleFae lol, I tried asking my mom what's safe and such and it didn't seem like she really knew. She tells me almost everything is safe and got annoyed when I would ask lol, the way she sees it is she didn't have the technology back then and women still had healthy pregnancies. Thanks so much for ur help and comforting information, and ill be sure yo message you if I have any more questions =)
