Today is my birthday and DH is taking me out to a steak place.
Normally I like my steak mooing (read cold center) and since being pregnant I haven't had steak. I'm sure most would say cooked through is safest but it might actually cause me physical pain if I have to order it anything more than medium (pink).
How have you eaten your meat while pregnant?

I did medium. I only got steak at pretty nice places and felt it was ok. Burgers I did medium well, since ground meat is riskier.

Same as @Foodnerd81 -- steaks medium and burgers medium well. A couple months ago, we went to a Brazilian steakhouse and some of the cuts they gave me were more medium rare than medium and I wasn't totally comfortable with it, so I either left those on the plate or traded with DH for things he had that I wanted.

I usually ate my steak Medium, but occasionally I just needed a Medium Rare steak... since it's from one cow (not multiple like ground beef) I felt fine doing so.

I still ate mine rare. I rarely eat steak, and was comfortable having rare when I had it. I only had it at places I really trusted the quality (i.e., I wasn't chowing down on WalMart steak)

I always eat mine medium-rare, knocked up or not... I would eat it the way you typically do if you are comfortable with it!

I got burgers medium well, but I still ate my steak medium rare. I can't eat steak well done! It's a crime!

Medium rare. I do hamburgers medium because I wouldn't notice it that much but a steak HAS to be med-rare

Rare to medium rare, pregnant or not! I eat a lot of steak and refuse to eat it if it's not pink throughout, I just can't. Gross. Cooking meat well done is one of those things I put in the category of a bit over the top when it comes to pregnancy food rules.

Rare to medium rare, depending on my whims. But only if it was from someplace I trusted. I only had it once or twice when I was pregnant, though.
I was much more careful with burgers. I always made sure they were cooked completely through.

Totally cooked. I didn't eat much steak while I was pregnant since I prefer it medium.
