The odds are in your favour that nothing has happened.Try to relax, and for future reference; try to avoid cold cuts/soft cheese etc to prevent listeria exposure.

-wellcome and thanks for preffering Marham for your health Consultation.
-Dear soft cheese, undercooked food/ meat, food near pets need to be avoided as this can Give u infection that can affect developing fetus.
-this u already taken food hope it would be clean not infected and may not harm you.
-now have precautions and avoid undercooked food and food containing cheese.
-have fresh fruits, vegatales, properly cooked food etc.
- have regular Antenatal follow ups and visits.
Best of Luck.
Don’t worry , it’s not completely restricted , only reason to avoid is to avoid infection like to toxoplasmosis, what is done is done , it’s not necessary u will catch the infection , InshaaAllah ull be fine , have a anomaly scan at 20 weeks, can also go for some blood tests if u r so much worried ,
