Can I eat...

[Lisa]

Thanks everyone

I ate olives throughout my entire pregnancy with Madeleine (even vomitted them in labour *urgh*) but they were the ones in a jar. I guess my main worry was that they weren't in a jar and they were from the deli. I am hoping all will be fine... I am sure it will be. The plus is that they were really yummo on my pizza and I had no fears then because they were so hot.
Thanks again everyone for your help and advice

Try not to worry hon. The risk of contracting listeria is really low. I'm sure all pregnant women have made a few whoopsies here and there, I know I have My sister and girlfriends who have had their second babies are always telling me about the naughty stuff they ate with their seconds and they're all fine. I'm not recommending to race out and eat all the 'no-go' foods but I reckon all the hype about listeria is a little bit over the top, IYKWIM
