A lot of people do. I know its rare to get listeria but when i lost my son they kept accusing me of eating lunch meat. Which i hadnt. tests ruled it out. Just be aware that it can happen.
I don't that often, even though I crave it like crazy! I'm less worried about listeria as I heat the meat when I'm going to eat it, but I'm more worried about nitrates and other preservatives. I just don't want to risk anything. I figure, its 9 months...I can live with out it; however, I have found some nitrate free turkey at my deli that I eat on occassion. I don't eat anything with nitrates...I don't give ny daughter anything with them either, no artifical sweeteners, and very minimal processed food. I cook pretty much everything from scratch. I'll do exactly what I did with baby #1...as soon as baby #2 is out there better be a huge sub from my favorite shop waiting for me so I can chow down!
my sister at lunch meat the whole time and nothing bad happened.. i dobt eat it all the time just when i dont wanna cook i love to but a pickle cream cheese and ham yummmm
Omg....I craved OSCAR MYER turkey bolgny the last 4 months of my pregnacy. It was ridiculous how much of that I ate. On toasted wheat bread with lettuce cheese mayo and mustard w/a dill pickle on the side....lol Every day with out fail, some times twice.
I'm 35 weeks pregnant, and I've eaten lunchmeat and subway my whole pregnancy! My nutritionist said its perfectly fine to eat lunch meat, as long as its toasted at subway, or if you're making sandwiches at home to just put the lunch meat in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to kill any bacteria. I just had a sandwich for lunch!
My doctor told me lunch meat was ok to eat, he said the only one to watch out for was turkey and if I wanted one to make sure I warmed it up first. I eat ham every once in a great while, but I haven't ate turkey at all while pregnant.
I do all the time lunch meat its bad if its slimey then its bad my mom ate cookiedough and batters and meats and I'm just fine she even chose one day out her pregnancy to drink and my 2 sister and I are perfectly healthy .....eat the meat lol
Uhm im not a big drinker I don't like they way it taste lol. Anddd I didn't eat lunch meat for the first trimester, then after half way throw second trimester I started to eat it!! I really want something mango!!
I have a turkey n cheese sandwich atleast 2 times a week can't help myself I love sandwiches and hogies! And I know what you mean @blueberrysmom , I miss having my glass of wine after my lil one goes to bed...always seemed to relax me for the evening.
Just bcuz nothing bad didnt happen to somebody does not mean it cant happen. Its like saying this person drove drunk and made it home ok so I can too. Not saying your a bad person cuz I have had my turkey too but its not the mentality to have.
