29 weeks pregnant and forgot about no cold lunch meat. i ate a boars head publix sub. how big of an oops was that?

Don't panic!: Your risk is very small. We always err on the side of caution. The concern is not the lunch meat itself but the slightly increased risk of contamination due to increased handling and exposure without heating to destroy bacteria. Mild illness for you could be serious for the baby, so get checked if you feel even a little off.
