 [ Symptoms ] expecting mother ate undercooked pork  so i am 5 months expecting and yesterday i went over to my mothers for dinner my mother had prepared me a pork chop and part of it was undercooked before i had realized some of it was undercooked i already had eaten half of it then i freaked out and stopped eating it now i am wondering if i should have my dr perform tests for bacteria staph infection and trichonosis and other parasites i just saw this article about pork on webmd new today and now i am a nervous wreck [ Disease ] the chance of you getting a serious infection or parasite trichinosis from a few bites of undercooked pork or this incident harming your baby would be extremely small assuming you are in the united states and are eating inspected meat from a reliable grocery store or butcher ultimately from a highly inspected meat packing facility these pork related events are very very unusual now if you ate undercooked pork from a wild boar someone shot or from a dubious supplier that is a different issue call your ob or primary care medical provider with your story so you can have some patient specific advice but in the meantime relax you and your baby are probably going to be perfectly fine and your mother is going to be over cooking pork to the point of burning it from now on
