I am curious to hear more about your experience with listeria. How did you contract it? When did you find out? I presume the baby was okay since you mentioned it being born at 27.5 weeks. I have been a little (probably overly) paranoid since I ate some blue cheese dressing two nights ago. I have read that it can take up to 70 days before you could actually have symptoms! That is too much. I wondered what your advice is since you have been through it. It sounds like you had a tough pregnancy by the way.

Thanks in advance.
