Pregnancy cravings can run the gamut but one thing expectant moms should be wary of eating is processed meat. Dr. Elisa Ross is an obstetrician at Cleveland Clinic.
She advises her patients to steer clear of processed meat including deli meats, sausage, and hot dogs. The bacteria Dr. Ross is referring to is called listeria and can be found in undercooked or contaminated foods.
