Pregnant and ate a bad apple

[MissL85]

I'm 9 weeks pregnant and started eating an apple. The first bite was fine and I swallowed it. I got to the next bite and realised that it didn't taste very good and spat it out. I tried another part, thinking it was just bruised, but that wasn't great and spat that out. Should I be worried about it at all?

You need to keep reminding yourself that miscarriage does not happen becouse you did something ( unless it is something really bad like getting hit by a car, falling down the stairs etc). It is completely out of your control, it is something that's happens at the conception; it's nature's way to select out the unhealthy babies. I know it's hard but keep trying to think positive, and trust your body!

I'm completely the same! I also had two early losses and I had to get through 7 years of infertility and 4 rounds of ivf to get to this stage. I'm constantly worried about everything and anxious all the time. I had the same flaxseed scare but there are also websites that say it's actually helpful if you have constipation. I also had a couple of bites of a bad apple and was fine. I'm also a teacher and the lack of distraction is killing me. I'm monitoring my body all the time and I'm terrified of going to the toilet. Yesterday I thought I was going to have a miscarriage because I started to have a slightly raised temperature and today my stomach felt hard and I had some cramps. I know people mean well but I have explained my anxiety to everyone involved: ivf clinic, reoccurring miscarriage clinic, midwife, GP. Apart from understanding there isn't much anyone can do if you need more than some deep breathing, yoga stretches or mindfulness. I have been on waiting lists for proper support for years and currently on one that stretches beyond my pregnancy. The only thing that anyone said to me that really helped was that there is no research that proves the anxiety is harming my unborn child (this was the reoccurring miscarriage specialist). Otherwise I had to worry about that as well.
I hope you feel a bit reassured about the apple and feel you can continue to ask when you are worried. You definitely not alone! Xx

Unless your name is Snow White, you'll be fine.

I think it's because I'm not at the 12 week period. Once I have my dating scan at 13 weeks, I think I will feel a lot better.

I mean this with nothing but kindness, OP, but anxiety doesn't work like that. It is a sneaky little bastard which will latch on to the next thing to worry about, and it will continue past the birth, through the newborn stage, and at every point in childhood if you let it. Please ask your midwife about the practical support available; CBT isn't for everyone but many people find it life-changing. As a PP has said waiting lists are long so if you are in a position to do so this might be something to consider funding privately.
