I wouldn't be so dismissive of the risks - yes they are low, but they do exist and pregnant women do contract listeria and do lose babies...if you are one of those women, the extremely low odds would be of zero comfort. I'm not saying this to worry anyone, but to say that just because something is low odds doesn't mean you should poo-poo the real risk of losing a baby. My OB was the head high risk OB at Frances Perry/Royal Women's and treated listeria as something to be concerned about - over my pregnancy he had 3 pregnant women in the hospital who had listeria...I don't know what happened, but I wouldn't want to be in their shoes....that being said, it's not always a doomsday scenario either. I do believe there is at least 1 bellybeller who also lost a baby from listeria who used to comment on threads where people talked about it's OK because it's low risk. The doctors are not covering their bottoms but telling you the facts about risks - low risk/serious consequences, I'd stay away!

1pj - odds are, you are fine - but I'd really avoid deli meat going forward - and I'm not on a high horse - I made mistakes during my pregnancy with what I ate, but they were true mistakes and only after the food was consumed did I realize that it was a no-no - I really tried to follow the rules and did not chose to eat something "bad" because the risk was LOW.
