Yesterday I ate something from the avoid list accidentally. Have since had diharrea, nausea & am hot since.

Ring midwife who tells me listeriosis risk very low, please don't come in as it's most likely a tummy bug which we don't want you passing on to our other pregnant ladies. If you're still concerned ring your GP.

Does this sound right to you? 32 weeks & worried after googling listeriosis. Is it really such a low risk that no one bothers checking?

Thank you xxx

What did you eat?

Google says that it takes at least a few days before you would see any symptoms from listeria infection, average incubation period is 30 days. A longer incubation period was observed for pregnancy-associated cases (median: 27.5 days; range: 17–67 days) .
Therefore it's unlikely you would see symptoms if you ate something only yesterday.

Pâté, thought it was a mousse :( so angry with myself. Hopefully it's just a nasty tummy bug then, thank you for the info.

Listeria is VERY rare. Google Zoe Williams in the Guardian on this.
