Post by beachbums on Jul 29, 2016 12:50:23 GMT -5

Hi! I'm a 29 year old CPA from Florida and my husband and I recently found out I'm officially knocked up with our first. In a week's time I have:

1. Been convinced I have Zika (I don't. Right? Shit.)

2. Called daycares to intensely grill them about everything that has ever happened or will happen in their center. Because I'm a rational human being, that's why.

3. Cried at the thought of daycare

4. Cried at the thought of staying home

5. Danced around in my underwear at 2am because I was too excited to sleep

6. Exhausted my friends with what-ifs and updates on shit no one cares about except you when you're 5 weeks pregnant

7. Googled until I got scared and stopped (FOR NOW.)

8. Joined this forum so I don't drive everyone else nuts

Pleased to meet you all!

Welcome! What's your due date?

March 29th right now based on LMP, but I haven't been for my first OB appt yet. I do wonder if I'll get bumped to April when I go. My work revolves around the April 15th tax deadline so a selfish part of me kinda wants it to be in March so I can be like "See ya bitches!!" before April madness hits lol.

At 5 weeks, you should just be worried about what you can eat to sustain yourself. I wasn't worried about Zika, but now I keep hearing talks of it. Should I be more worried?

I wasn't worried about Zika, but now I keep hearing talks of it. Should I be more worried?

Hard to say. Up until this week the only cases in the US were travel-related, meaning the people were infected elsewhere (usually the Caribbean or South America) and came back to the United States with it. However, there are now four cases in South Florida in which the infected individuals have no pertinent travel history, so their Zika viruses are thought to be from local mosquitoes. The report today said that "the area of active transmission is limited to a one-square-mile area just north of downtown Miami." That's much more worrisome but it's still pretty isolated. The species of mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus often try to live in shade or indoors and feed on people, which is why it's so prevalent in places that have "open" living structures like they do in some areas of Miami, Brazil, many places in the Caribbean, etc. It all changes every day but right now experts are saying it's not predicted to spread very far across the US due to (1) the use of air conditioning in most places and indoor living and (2) mosquito season being over in about 6 weeks in most places in the US. Since I live in Florida I'm more concerned with it spreading up the state because mosquitoes are still here even into December; just got bit yesterday, actually

. But worrying is pointless and all we can do is really stay indoors as much as possible and use bug spray.

So anyway, it's very appropriate that I dumped this in my intro thread because I might as well be a spokeswoman for the CDC now with how much I read about Zika lol. I try not to obsess but it's pretty hard. I imagine women in Texas close to the border feel the same, never mind the poor pregnant women in countries with active outbreaks. I asked my OB about it and she seemed unconcerned ... but it'll probably still be rattling around in my mind throughout the pregnancy.
