Question

Okay so It's been a little warmer and with this weather mosquitos tend to be flying around and getting inside homes... Im currently 20 weeks pregnant and i have gotten so many mosquito bites. Obviously as a first time mom and with the "zika" virus flowing around i get scared about it. Should i be worried about it? Anyone else getting bit by mosquitos. I live in California and I don't think zika mosquitos have actually came over here but still worried.

Answer

You have nothing to worry about right now, at least not till mosquitos carrying the virus crosses the US from Florida to California.
I'm 29 weeks and just moved to Florida, however there haven't been any reported cases where I now live. 
I'm still being cautious, however I'm not fretting over it.
You're gonna be okay.

Answer

I wouldn't be super cautious of it unless you hear on the news of warnings in your area such as the one that was placed in Florida, if you plan to travel to such areas that are impacted by it, or have sexual relations with someone who has Zika. I'd suggest taking standard precaution with mosquitos since Zika isn't the only thing you catch from them. Zika is just the one that is more dangerous to pregnancy or hoping to be pregnant couples.  Discuss it with your doctor of any other initial worries you may have about it too since they have to be more aware of it if it's in your area or if the climate can produce the ones that carry it.
