How bad is it to eat a small deli sandwich from Subway? I got it heated in the oven… Just worried about my little baby. Stuck at the hospital today (for my nephew’s surgery) and had nothing to eat, so I got that (can’t believe they have have Subway in the hospital!) The meat was not very good, so I started tearing it out the sandwich towards the end… but still. Worried I don’t want to hurt him or cause him to have any problems after birth.

You can. But risk getting sick. And harming your babe. So its preferences.
You will be fine I promise I craved Blimpie subs my entire pregnancy with both my girls. Both are happy and healthy
I ate subway through a lot of my pregnancy lol. Toasted. But it was like the only thing I wanted
I ate deli meat with all of my pregnancies. Everything was fine. I never heat deli meat.

“Which deli meats are safe during pregnancy?
Listeria is killed by pasteurization and cooking. Cold cuts are now sprayed with a food additive that helps prevent Listeria before packaging. You don’t need to panic if you are pregnant and have been eating deli meats. The probabilities are in your favor that nothing has happened.”
6 healthy pregnancies full of way more Togo’s and Subway than I should admit

So long as the meat was heated, you should be fine. I always tend to forget to heat my sandwich meat and I’ve had healthy pregnancies 
I would get the foot long sandwiches with all of my pregnancies all the time, especially my first. My doctor never told me not to eat deli meat.

Just get it toasted to be extra safe. It’s not as dangerous as it use to be.
What is this whole “can’t eat deli meat” thing? Some new age hype that’s fake news?

It’s bc of the bacteria listeria. because pregnancy weakens your body’s immune system and ability to fight disease. As long as it’s heated and not a lot of it you’ll be just fine

Yes I was told what foods to avoid but yes I was told to heat up deli meat but you know I have had 3 babies and I eat what I wanted and stuff I wasn’t allowed I ate and drank stuff I wasn’t because I forgot what foods and drinks to stay away from.
I ate peanuts, deli meat without heating it up, drank energy drink, alcohol, junk food, take aways and all 3 pregnancies where healthy with healthy sized babies.
My first baby was born at 38+2 weeks weight 6lbs 12oz, my second baby was born at 39+2 weeks weight 9lbs 12oz and my third baby was born at 39 weeks exactly weighting at 10lbs 14oz.
Heated is fine. Lunch meat can have listeria, which is why it needs heated first. Listeria can cause miscarriage, preterm birth and stillbirth.

I’ve been told by my Dr. to stay away from preservatives lunch meet,hotdogs,sausages they are harmful to ur body. In my case is my liver. Everyone is different.
I was told that as long as you heat it up enough it’s fine. I was microwaving my deli meat for sandwiches my whole last pregnancy because it’s all I wanted to eat lol
Toasted Sammies are fine 
If you heat it, it’s ok.
I ate the enchilada melt like twice a week when i was preggo. I got to know the ladies at my local subway and they were so extra sweet.
Here to say I’m a mother of 3 and never heated the deli meat…there is always something …what’s next. You could eat and do everything perfect and if it’s in God’s plan to have a baby with health problems.

I avoid the sodium content, but your good! They have many ways of curing that these days! 
I never once heated up my lunch meat while pregnant with any of my 3. I can’t stand it heated up. I did all the thing they said you’re not supposed to do include ingesting caffeine. My kids are all perfectly healthy.

Deli meat is one of those situations that has became an excessive myth twisted… You can absolutely eat deli meat! Granted every person in situation is different but most cases in my experience and from my knowledge have eaten deli meat throughout pregnancy with moderation
ma’am i ate sushi while pregnant, im pretty sure a heated up sub won’t hurt anything. Subway in general is just a low quality food so 9/10 it doesn’t taste great:melting_face:

I’d before worried if this said meat was in your fridge for days and then ate it. But it was fresh meat and heated up. You have absolutely nothing to worry about. I’d definitely not stress over a sandwich for sure. If your not throwing up or having bowl issues let it go.
All.my pregnancies I ate cold lunch meat chessboards tuna eggs. Lord knew I was fixing to get fat if anything lol 
but I just made sure all the foods were fresh and my areas fit cooking were clean and sanitary conditions.

After every pregnancy I said I wanted an Italian sub from Publix,
gotta make sacrifices. That was one of mine, the things we do for our children.
When I was pregnant, I got them all the time. We double toasted and everything was just fine 
infact, the day of me going into the hospital, it was my 38 week appointment, and the Dr had given me a gift card for subway as a thank you for choosing him as my ob, and he came in to check me and does the thing, then says “you might wanna go ahead and pick that up, then i need you to go straight to the hospital, you’re in labor and you’re 4 cm, they’re not gonna let you eat anything once you get there” 
so I did, and we went and she was born at 1am that night

You can eat deli meat, you just have to heat it up
Ma’am I had a Turkey Tom from Jimmy Johns almost everyday with watermelon in my third trimester because it’s all I could stomach. Everything else sounded so unappealing and gross because I was so pregnant and it was summer and so ungodly hot outside…my son came out just fine and is a perfectly healthy almost 2 year old who also loves deli meat (ham specifically) 
. The chances are so so so low of whatever type of sickness or bacteria you could get.

The concern pertains to the increased risk of listeria/salmonella infection. I’m currently 36 weeks and my doctor has told me that if it’s cooked it is okay to eat deli meat because it lessens the risk of potentially contracting either. However, one time throughout your entire pregnancy (if you don’t plan to eat it again) should be perfectly fine. Just monitor how you feel over the next day or two, worst case scenario.

Not Eating cold deli meats is because of higher risk of getting sick from the bacteria that can be on it which can cause risk to the pregnancy. All these people laughing is a bit much, and a lot of you seem to not know the reason for it. You can eat it as long as the meat is heated well.

You’ll be fine as long as you don’t eat sandwiches every single day
As long as it’s heated - you can eat deli meat!! You just aren’t supposed to eat it right out of the fridge! Honestly, I CRAVED deli meat, my entire pregnancy for two of my kids!! And I ate it, and nothing happened.

I am absolutely not a doctor but I will say I ate lunch meat cold with my first pregnancy and now with this pregnancy and everything is fine. There’s a risk of listeria being in the lunch meat so they advise you to heat it up first. You’ll be ok. Don’t stress!
I ate anything I wanted and my kids are perfectly fine. They say just to warm it up, even if you put it back in the refrigerator to get cold again because there’s a bacteria that grows and can harm baby.
Listeria is a bacteria that can be on cold deli meats. Heating before eating kills any potential bacteria and makes it safe. You are fine!

I got sick with my last pregnancy from deli meat. With all 3 of my pregnancies I was told not to eat deli meat ( didn’t listen lol) unless it’s been heated. So just heat it up lol
I ate subway while I was pregnant and my little girl is healthy, and I mean I ate the whole foot long and some sandwiches here and there but they just don’t want you to eat it all the times
It’s to prevent listeriosis which can harm a fetus at any age (can cause miscarriage at 8 months etc.) and to limit nitrate exposure to the fetus.
Listeriosis is rare but harmful. Some say to microwave or cook deli meats before eating it.
You’re fine…ive been craving sandwiches this pregnancy so I asked my Dr. This the other week and he said it’s fine in moderation.
If this helps, I ate a subway sandwich in active labour and it didn’t make him come out any faster
(he was 10weeks early and it wasn’t because of anything I ate)
You aren’t supposed to eat cold lunch meat but honestly your risk is no different than your risks with anything else. Even taking Tylenol. I personally lived off lunchmeat while pregnant with my 2nd daughter. Turkey was the only thing that wouldn’t spike my sugars.
