I can't stand the way I'm feeling. I'm almost 8 weeks pregnant, and I can't help but feel like I have already ruined this pregnancy. It seems like I can't even go a day without doing something that is harmful to my baby. My son was conceived with help from a fertility clinic, so this pregnancy was unplanned. It's very wanted, but just unplanned. We didn't expect it to happen naturally and we weren't really trying. So although I am very excited and happy about this pregnancy, I'm just very unprepared.
I hadn't been taking prenatal vitamins before I got pregnant. I started them the day I got my BFP. When I got the BFP, I already had a doctors appointment that day for something unrelated. He took me off a medication that I was on because it wasn't safe for pregnancy. He put me on something different that he said was safe for pregnancy. I took it for a week before finding out that it is not safe during the first trimester. I called my high-risk ob/gyn and she reassured me that I would be fine. I started drinking lemon ginger tea to help with nausea and now I found out lemongrass is not safe during pregnancy. We just bought new bedroom furniture this week and all of a sudden I find out that new furniture should be avoided during pregnancy after I've been inhaling this "new furniture smell". I also read tap water isn't safe!? IS ANYTHING SAFE ANYMORE???
I can't stand it! I feel like I have already given this baby a horrible start because I'm doing absolutely everything wrong! This baby has no chance! I've been a wreck today, and I've just been crying nonstop because I feel like this baby is going to have so much wrong with him/her because of all the mistakes I've made. Am I crazy? It's getting to the point where they just need to lock pregnant women up in protective bubbles and feed them only vitamins and water (but not tap water!). It seems nothing is safe for pregnant women anymore and it just makes me so mad!!!
