I had orange juice this morning at a restaurant and didn’t know it was fresh squeezed. Will my baby be ok?

    No, you should call your provider right away. They may want to monitor you closely.

    How bad is it compared to eating sushi or deli meat? I will call the restaurant tomorrow to see if they pasteurize the juice and then will contact my provider

    You will be fine baby will be fine.  Are you having symptoms now?  The chance of getting sick is minimal. 

    You can eat sushi (I'm moderation) from reputable places.  You can eat deli meat(as long as it is reputable place and meats are stored properly.  All these things you "can't do" you need to use common sense for. My now retired doctor said in all his years of being OBGUN he had NEVER had a patient or baby sick from listeria fro. Deli meats or sushi.

    If you are worried about fresh OJ, then you should be worried about many other things in life, too: cantaloupe, spinach, romaine,  how things are prepped in a restaurants kitchen, etc.

    My doctor said:

    “ It can be overwhelming trying to keep all the dietary recommendation straight, you can have fresh squeezed orange juice. Think of it like eating an orange, this is OK as long as you do not have diabetes in pregnancy and this wouldn't be tested for until 26-28wks.”
