Eaten bad food

[Missanxietyandstress]

Hi..
I'm worrying a lot
I ate some cucumber and it seemed like it tasted sour in the middle.
Could I have harmed my baby. I'm 16 weeks!

You and your baby will be fine. In the extremely unlikely scenario that you get sick then seek some medical advice and they'll tell you to look out for symptoms that need closer management. Many pregnant women get sick and their bodies do brilliant jobs of ensuring their baby still thrives.

You would have to eat a lot worse than a piece of not so fresh cucumber to have any effect on your own body let alone that of your developing baby. Our bodies have a fantastic ability to protect our babies and that includes them growing when the mother has HG severe enough to need hospital admission. It’s quite possible that it’s changing hormones making your interpretation of taste different to normal - I couldn’t eat certain things while pregnant with our DTs this year because of how they tasted.

Hope you settle soon and can worry a little less xx
