Probably not. The risk of undercooked meat would be to yourself.

Thats good to know. I wsa looking on sites and it was saying stuf about birth defects etc. I was so scared. I made myself throw it all up! Thank you Ingi!

The problem with the raw meat is that of bacterial contamination. If it was contaminated throwing up was not going to save you from infection.

It got it out anyway. I just got off of the phone iwth my OB he said what Ingi said. I will be OK so will she. He said it was a good idea to get it out though because it made me feel better

How did you manage to eat the whole thing before realizing it was undercooked?

Well, I was at work. I didn't look at the burger meat when I was eating it.. I just happened to notice it.. I was pretty busy though. Eating on the run didn't think to look it over before I ate it.. Thought that the resturant would cook the meat. Oh well! I definitly should have looked. When I cook at home I am so particular! Therefore I should have been more responsible!

im glad you dr. said everything will be ok!!! That is really scary!!!

I was terrified. It didn't make me sick though. So, I don't think it would hurt the baby. The doc said it would take about 4 hours for my body to start to digest the protine.. Time would tell... I was pretty scared though. WHen I did a search I saw ecoli, birth defects. I did email the resturant. When I brought the burger back and showed the girl. I was pretty scared. I asked her some questions she didn't know what to say. She didn't even appoligize for the uncooked meat.. Just gave me my money back. So, I iwll never ever go back to that resturant!

no i wouldnt either! i cant believe they didnt even appoligize!!! It was their fault! At least you didnt get sick or anything. My dr. told me to NEVER look stuff up online b/c they say the worst possible things can happin. Im soo happy to hear your ok

Was this a fast food chain???

was it UNcooked or UNDERcooked, theres a BIG difference

glad to hear your ok

You know, I've heard of pregnant women CRAVING raw hamburger meat as gross as it sounds...

Beef is usually okay when it isn't thoroughly cooked.... people eat rare steaks all the time.
It's pork and chicken that you have to worry about...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

the problem with hamburger is its GROUND meat, the problem with beef is e. coli posioning, in ground meat the (possible) e. coli will be everywhere in the meat (does that make sence? i can find links that explain it better if you want)

however thats oviously not the case here since your fine hun, done worry i got selmonella poisoning when i was preg (the whole peanut butter thing from last year, yeah i got really sick) and both my daughter and i are fine

The middle was clearly uncooked the outside of the burger was even pinkish brown. I am such a dork I should have looked

My doctor said that too! I am trying not to look things up now LOL I like this site though because they're things that other people could have gone through too its really great. Thanks for your support

It was... But it wasn't mcdonalds this place makes thicker burgers. I wrote a complant to the company and they never responded. So, I wont go back. I shouldn't be eating fast food anyway

Hardee's?!?!?!?!?!
