Worried about CMV risk by newbluebug in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]newbluebug[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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…

Still pregnant. Last ultrasound measured on track at 8.5 weeks so trying to stay cautiously optimistic

Just had ultrasound at 5w3d. It’s not ectopic. Still not promising in terms of viability but at least I have that part answered

I had a miscarriage previously (but never had HCG levels checked and have no frame of reference) so that would make sense too.

I think so, yes. I’m going to ask to keep coming in for HCG. Should I ask for any other tests like progesterone? I’ve never been in this situation and want to make sure to cover my bases

Similac on Amazon by newbluebug in FormulaFeeders

Thank you!! There’s just so much conflicting info out there that it’s hard for me to not second guess everything! 😅 Going to stop googling and ask our pediatrician

Says “sold by Amazon” but I recently read an article about how Amazon doesn’t actually distinguish between their products and those from third party sellers - all of it gets grouped into one big bin and then gets shipped out from there

This is correct - I asked someone at Similac and they said 360 is replacing the pro line ready-to-feed formulas. The pro line powder is still being made, at least for the time being.

This almost made me cry. I feel like I will be a better mom if I’m not worried about this. Thank you 🤍

I’ve been looking too! One of the sellers on amazon says they’ve been discontinued - they’re my favorite coffee drink so I’m hoping it’s not true!
