[quote=Anonymous]Physically, you're fine. Pregnant mothers have accidentally or intentionally eaten rare or medium rare meat for millenia without endangering their unborn children. Although there is some chance of contamination, the chances of this happening in 21st century USA is rather unlikely. There are hundreds of thousands of children each year and only a few dozen to a few hundred cases of listeria each year and the latter only occurs when there is a big outbreak caused by some widespread contamination. The FDA review of food including packaged meat is pretty solid (not failproof put pretty safe). Emotionally, however, you are over-anxious. If you are this anxious over the pregnancy alone, the infant months and toddler months may give you a nervous breakdown. I suggest that you might want to consult with a professional to try to find ways to reduce your anxieties. Perhaps something as simple as medication and relaxation exercies. Your stress level and anxiety can put out hormones that will also be dangerous for your unborn child and frankly, I think your child is in more danger from the stress hormones than from one undercooked burger.[/quote]
