Crazy food fears!

I know there are other posts about what to eat or not eat but I wanted to see if anyone else is terrified of eating food and getting sick and hurting the baby? I started out fine just avoiding the no nos: deli meat, hot dogs, unpasteurized cheese, etc. Then I became scared to eat out for fear of contaminated food. And now I have crazy anxiety just eating veggies at home. My husband runs a restaurant and assured me all chain places have very good sanitary practices and tries to assure me my food at home is fine too since I wash the heck out of it. And I know my fears are irrational but it took me so long to get pregnant with my little girl that I'm so scared. My food issues have become so bad that I lost 5 pounds in the last 2 weeks because I'm afraid to eat even though I know I'm doing more harm than good. Sorry for the long post, is anyone else having these fears or anyone who went through this before?

    Agreed with the above, you need to talk with your doctor about this. Your fears are completely irrational and are doing way more harm than eating some deli meat.
