I lost a baby to listeria poisoning, he was stillborn. Listeria is supposedly found in white / soft cheeses, chicken, and sushi, but it's also found in soil, so it's common in salads with leaves in them. We suspect that's where I got it from.
I couldn't eat sushi in any of my pregnancies after that but it was purely emotional. I think we should eat healthy food all the time, not just during pregnancy.
I think there is entirely too much panic about what pregnant women can and can't to. They shouldn't have a glass of wine, but hospitals dish out major narcotics to labouring women!? It's ridiculous. Common sense has to prevail soon because the pregnancy police make me quiver with rage.
