Hi all,
I am currently 17 weeks pregnant and really struggling.
I have a fear (and it really does feel like that) of catching toxoplasmosis. I am pretty careful and have been tested a few weeks ago (negative) but I can't shake the fear I feel about it.
I have two questions really, the first is (and please don't laugh) do you think that you can get toxoplasmosis from eating food served in a banana leaf. I know that sounds random but we were cooked a curry last night and it came served in a banana leaf. I tucked in as I was starving, then looked at the leaf and it didn't look 100% clean to me. So I am looking for opinions on whether people think this is possible.
The other question is: Does anybody have any tips/tricks/ideas on how to cope with these thoughts. I am ony 17 weeks and am scared that this is going to get worse. I feel like it panics me when I think there is a possibility of toxoplasmosis.
I have moved to a foreign country and in my own country I might have tried to see a counsellor or something but here its not so easy.
Please help with both questions as I really need reassurance and help.
Thanks
