Raw Chicken and PgAL Brain

[creechmommy]

So I just got back from Texas.  It was a quick trip - 3 days and two of those days were driving days.  I had to go out of town for a family funeral.  So the trip was very quick and hectic - while we were gone, I don't think I felt too much movement.  I'm still early on and the movement I've been feeling so far is very slight and usually only at night.  We also stood a lot.  My ankles are now swollen and my back and sides hurt. 

Anyway - to top it all off, on the way home I just picked up a Wendy's chicken sandwich for dinner after a long ride home.  I took two bites that were normal and on the third bite, I noticed that bite was raw - RAW.  Half the sandwich was cooked - I swallowed those two bites.  I noticed pretty quick that it was raw so I was able to spit it out pretty quick. 

Now I'm freaking out though because of all that's gone on this weekend then to finish it off with raw chicken.  I know I'm probably being crazy, but I'm freaking out here.

Firstly-EWWWWWWW
Secondly-You can't unring that bell. You will either get sick, or you won't. Give your body and immune system its best chance by getting your rest and drinking a ton of water. Good luck!

I am sorry about the funeral and your pains. I am sure that chicken has been processed enough that you don't need to worry too much, especially since you didn't even ingest the raw part.

Ew! I would feel freaked out too but you did spit out the raw part so hopefully all will be okay. ::hugs:: so sorry about the funeral too.

Ewwwww. OMG that's disgusting. As pp you can't undue it so rest and drink lots of fluids. And call and complain and get a free frosty out of it! I'm sorry you had to deal with that and (((hugs))) I'm sorry for your loss.

I'm sorry that it was a stressful weekend. I hope you can rest today and put your feet up. About the chicken, you'd get sick fast if you were going to, so you are probably okay if you are not sick yet. Hugs. Sounds like a rough couple of days.

Oh yuck, sorry that happened. Maybe it wasn't as raw as it looked?? It could have been at least warmed enough to kill bacteria. Plus you spit it out.

This same thing happened to me at a Cracker Barrel last pregnancy. I just stopped eating it...I didn't get sick. Hopefully you won't either.

First I am sorry for your loss, funerals are so tough.... Secondly, I would think the same as the other gals, if you haven't gotten sick (yet) then you most likely are fine and I wouldn't worry.... although I know it's easier said than done.

PS --- I'm jealous that you're feeling movement already! I thought that I had MAYBE felt something the other day, but I'm not really sure. I just want to feel the baby already!!
