A member asked:

Can i eat lunch meat since im pregnant i've been eating it and haven't had any problems but some people are saying its bad

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There : There are a lot of things to avoid when pregnant, and other things you specifically should take, like prenatal vitamins. Lunch meats are not in either category, though some people suggest that you avoid tuna because of a concern for elevated levels of mercury in tuna meat.
