Scared of listeriosis

Jp

I’m 8 weeks, and I had: frozen yogurt from a dispenser and fruit from a salad bar last week. Just stupid and wasn’t thinking.

I’ve been increasingly tired and nauseous, which I’ve just chalked up to normal pregnancy morning sickness. Though with my first two, I had very easy pregnancies.

Yesterday night I started having severe diarrhea. Sorry, TMI. It was gross and went on all night.

I’m now so worried that I have lost the baby. I haven’t been into the doctor yet. I am waiting until 10-12 weeks. I had a miscarriage in November at 8 weeks and it was AFTER and ultrasound and heartbeat. Thus my husband and I didn’t want to rush to the doctor in case this time doesn’t work out either.

Ugh. I know diarrhea doesn’t *guarantee* a miscarriage, but I’m just so afraid that this was listeria and I’ve lost another pregnancy.

Obviously I should just go to the doctor but they encourage you to wait until 10 weeks anyway. So this is now the worst two week wait ever.
