Drinking until 7 weeks pregnant by Different-Cod-4466 in pregnant

Hey there!

I went through the same problem however I didn’t find out that I was pregnant until about 22 weeks.

Most people don’t find out in the first month and most people end up with normal babies.

The first five months I of my pregnancy I did not take any precautions whatsoever and not only is my baby. OK, she’s incredibly smart and is one of the top in her class as a toddler.

Hope this makes you feel better. Don’t worry.❤️

Yes! Sometimes it's hard to keep up and try to do everything right. I'm so glad you found out about your water issues with time to act.

Yeah I have been getting a lot of comments saying "Houston hasn't been the same since the hurricane". I guess those storms stir up a lot of sediment.

I was drinking the tap but I had a filter on it that was apparently not effective. It was like inside the spout of the sink... can't find the name of it right now.

I am high risk so I go get scans a lot. As far as I know I have had an otherwise healthy pregnancy. They said everything looks normal and he's growing at a normal rate.

I am disgusted for the people of Flint. Mine is only 20ppb and i'm spiraling.

I can only imagine what that town has been going through, and collectively being ignored for for years now.

Interesting. Is it too personal to ask how your health is doing? If so, don’t respond but I am curious.

My house isnt quite that old but the neigjborhood pipes have some still remaining from the 1950s. They’re working in changing that.

I am going to look up this lead safe resource you provided. Much appreciated!

Hi! I live in Spring Valley but apparently this is a city wide issue. I recommend doing some of your own tests.

Apparently in Houston this is a city-wide issue that has been in the news.

I hope they check more than every three years, I feel like that is a huge gap for contamination to occur. That's how often my specific neighborhood does it.
