HELP!!! Ate raw burger by mistake!! I'm 11 weeks pregnant and I was eating what I thought was a well cooked bar b qued burger (barbeque at work) The outside appeared well cooked but after eating it I noticed that the insides are pink.
Will my baby be okay?

If the inside was pink, it most likely was not completely raw, but rare. Your baby will be fine.
Of course, don't get into the raw meat eating habit though.

While eating raw meat isn't good when pregnant, doing it only once shouldnt be a problem. Also, I'm assuming that you probably didn't eat the entire thing once you noticed it wasn't cooked so that would make the chance of any problem much less likely. Make sure to avoid these types of food in the future but one small mistake like this shouldn't do anything to your baby.

i think your fine ask your doctor when you see him/her but if you are going to burgers before you bite into it cut it in half and make sure there is no pink just for next time some people only cook rare meat they think well done takes the flavor away i personally could never eat a burger with any pink in it and know i order it extra well done and still cut it in half before i bite it better safe than sorry i also would prob throw up if i saw pink

As long as you realised what you have done and don't make a habit of eating half cooked meat then it should be fine as a one off. I personally wouldn't eat anything off a bbq until after I have had baby unless I had cooked it myself.

yes, you'll be fine.
Raw meat can carry toxoplasmosis, so you might bring it up with your doctor. But chances are you/baby will be fine.
Always microwave meat if you didnt cook the food...that way you know its hot steaming thru...then everything is destroyed.

I eat raw hamburger all the time. It grosses my wife out, but I like it and have never suffered any ill effects from it. If you didn't start barfing within 8 hours, there's nothing to worry about.
Edit: Gawd, what a bunch of wussies. Y'all act like that rare steak is going to jump off your plate and start trampling people.

it wasn't raw it was just not well done. you will be fine. i eat steak on occassion and i just can't stand the taste of well done meat so i get mine medium or medium rare. my doctor said as long as it's from a good source you have nothing to worry about.

Well if you feel really sick! I would go to the doctor! I don't know if it will harm your baby! It wasn't completely raw the worst you do is use the bathroom!

Your risk right now is Listeria, but since the burger was heated chances are it killed the listeria and you will be ok.
