I eat ham occasionally, i've also had sushi, soft cheese and some other things i should probably avoid. I knew i was taking a risk, but i guess at the time i decided it was worth it. I am also craving cola drinks?!

BUT i do think saying 'i had X,Y and Z and my babies are just fine' is a bit of a red herring statement. Sure you and i might have run the risk and not got listeria. But the fact is that contracting listeria is a very real risk, and if you do your risk of a spontaneous miscarriage is high, something like 50%. Yes, Listeria is very uncommon in Australia, but it does still exist.

I absolutely do not judge anyone for what they eat, drink or choose to do, but felt the need to point it out, just so people don't get the wrong idea and are taking informed risks.

ETA_ Bath is that true?? Does Coke have an antiemetic in it????
