Pastrami - pregnant - listeria?

I'm about five weeks pregnant.... Just eaten a pastrami sandwich from a cafe. I thought that pastrami was just like roast beef, but actually it's cured and I shouldn't have eaten it? It wasn't hot.
I'm now worried that I really shouldn't have eaten it? But I'm (stupidly) hoping that listeria wouldn't effect baby this early on?
Does anyone know?

Goigling suggests pastrami is a cooked meat
