    worried

    I notice there is quite a few questions about listeriosis and food that is safe to at on the forums, sorry if I am repeating something asked often. But I'm very worried about some lasagne I ate last week from a hospital cafeteria. It had been cooked that day and I bought it in a packaged container sitting in a hot box, so it was hot but not steaming hot. I had some vomiting later that day but I've had quite bad morning sickness through my whole pregnancy (i'm 17 weeks) so its hard to say if the lasagne caused it.
    I mentioned this to my GP and she wasn't too concerned as the lasagne was cooked but I can't help but be worried, although I will admit I probably do worry too much! Any thoughts? Should I take this further with another doctor?

    If it was last week and you had listeria you would well and truly be sick by now. (although reading the BB article it seems you can have listeria without symptoms?!) It's so hard eating out when preg isn't it? Sometimes I ask them to microwave something a bit for me just to be sure.

    Eta- I had salmonella food poisoning in my first tri and was vomiting every half hour all night and it was less than ideal but all is fine with bub. So you even if you did vomit from the food, it may have been another bug.
