Confused?

I've been reading about people eating hot dogs and italian subs today. Those are my two major cravings and I thought I couldn't have them...? Am I wrong?

    They are on the restricted list, but a the OP in the Italian hoagie post had hers toasted.

    That said, I do plan to have a cold hoagie now and then! It's a huge craving of mine right now but I'm avoiding thus far.

    They say as long as the stuff is hot its okay.  But to be honest I ate lunch meat the first time around cold and my son was perfectly healthy.  Its just a personal choice how much of the "no stuff" in pregnancy you want to pay attention to.

    I've been told "everything in moderation."  Tuna, sushi, hotdogs, lunchmeat = all fine if you limit yourself to a "once in a while" consumption.

    I have had a few turkey dogs and just make sure they are steaming. Some ppl on here say all the talk about warming up your lunch meat to steaming is a bunch of hype, but my Dr said I needed to do it, so thats what I am sticking to. I havent had any italian subs, but have had a hot sub from Penn Station. Very yummy!

    Oh, but I should add to watch where you get the stuff... make sure it's from a place that you know is clean and fresh and that you've never tasted "bad" stuff from.

    Lunch meat has an increased risk of listeria, a bacteria that causes food poisoning.  Pregnant women because of a decreased immune system are more susceptible to having problems with it.  If everything is warmed up when you eat it, there's no problem.  Otherwise, it's a personal call as to whether the risk, which is low, is worth it or not.

    Ditto.

    Alright thanks ladies. I've never had an italian sub toasted before so maybe I'll try that. I miss them so much!?
