2nd Trimester

I'm freaking myself out....please help!

Yesterday, I took my dog for a walk with my mom and son.  Well, the dog pooped so OF COURSE I cleaned it up.  I picked it up with some paper since I forgot a bag.  The paper ripped and I got a few spots of dog doody on my hand.  I made sure not to touch my face or anything as we were walking back to my mom's house.  When we got back, I washed my hands obsessively.  But, now I'm nervous about doing something to the baby.  It's probably irrational but it's been freaking me out all night long.  I'm even tempted to call my OB this morning and ask.  Can someone please make me feel better?

  • If you didn't spread it and washed thoroughly, you are fine. Relax!

  • As long as you didn't eat any of the poop, I would say you're fine!

  • I am guessing that we all have been in contact with worse things than dog poop and just didn't realize it.

    You and baby should be fine.  

     

  • Stop freaking out you and LO are going to be fine.

    This. I swear girl you have been freaking out a lot. Sit back & try to enjoy this pregnancy. It goes soooo fast & you don't want to spend the whole time in a panic.

    I'm sure that you get worse stuff on your hands just touching a shopping cart.  Besides, stressing won't do anything good.
