Deli meats: Would call doctor(Ob)/ ER in AM and ask their advice.If any fever or diarrhea go immediately. Listeria is in the soil so you can even get it from insufficiently washed vegetables. But avoid smoked, unpasturized, non cooked ( i.e. just cured) meats, fish,. cheeses( soft cheeses) http://www.cdc.gov/pregnancy/infections-Listeria.html http://americanpregnancy.org/pregnancy-complications/listeria/
