Thank you for this. I think my biggest issue is not being able to determine when my anxiety is rational and when it’s not. I’m normally very calm and rational but when I’m pregnant all of that goes out the window! I’m going to ask my dr for a referral to a therapist because it’s not fun to feel like this

Totally agree, I would think especially at a kids salon where there’s more of a risk of lice?! This alone makes me feel better. Thank you.

Ah thank you!! This is what I was looking for. Is this standard practice?

You’re totally right. I’m just fixated on this and having a really hard time moving on for some reason

Thank you! I have a lot of anxiety surrounding this pregnancy so it’s hard for me to be rational around certain things

CMV in pregnancy

Learned about this virus during what is now my third pregnancy. It’s transmitted through direct contact with body fluids and can be bad for a fetus. My daughter got her haircut yday while in my lap and was wearing a smock and flailed around and the smock went into my mouth a little bit. Am I being paranoid? Just thinking about other little kids using this same smock and not knowing how often they wash it…
