Hi everyone,
Found out I'm pregnant with my 2nd and came across a thread on here about CMV, I'd never heard of it before so I googled it and now I've scared myself silly 😠I have quite bad health anxiety too which pregnancy never helps. But I really wanted to be more chilled out this time but now I feel like I'm spiralling. What makes it worse is my little one has just started nursery this week and we've had a little cold last week anyway. And everyone online says the symptoms can just be a cold. So I can't even differentiate, I'm going to be on pins every time we're ill.
The precautions are making me feel like I can't do anything with my toddler, I'm constantly washing my hands excessively and I hate this feeling. I'd never even heard of it. I thought it was rare but it says it's the most common infection passed to fetus.
I'm literally beside myself with worry that I've got it for the first time and I'm passing it on as we speak 😠is anyone else this scared of it? Or am I being totally irrational and the risk is low enough for me to forget about it and enjoy my pregnancy?
Thank you!
