[quote=Anonymous]OP, I ate medium steak and hamburgers all through my pregnancy with DC1 (cannot look at any meat with DC2, even at 6 months pregnant) and it was fine. In fact, at one point, I was anemic and so eating steak rare (before I was diagnosed and given iron supplement). Chances of anything happening are miniscule. Look back at our parents' generation - not only did they eat undercooked meat, they ate coldcuts, soft cheese and even (depending on the parent) smoked and drunk regularly. And yet plenty of people were born back in those days, and most of them absolutely fine. I am not saying this to claim it's good to drink/smoke/eat meat that's not even cooked when pregnant, but to try to calm down your anxiety - even if you were much less careful than you are, you have bigger chances of being hit by one of the reckless DC-area drivers than you are of damaging your baby through that burger. For your anxiety - I know you can't take meds due to pregnancy, but maybe a therapist and also relaxing exercises like yoga and meditation may help. [/quote]
