Listeria Scare...Freaking Out, anyone had it?

[holidaysan]

Only experience I have is my aunt who caught it about 15 years also whilst pregnant. She caught it in the 1st tri but didn't know, then at 14 weeks she had horrendous back ache and changed her mattress and everything. At the 20 week scan it was confirmed that the babies brain was 90% fluid and her little girl was born sleeping at 24 weeks. Sadly listeria had done it's damage. Apparently the back ache she felt at 14 weeks was her body trying to miscarry but it didn't. She had some flu like symptoms but not vomiting and diarrhea. It's very uncommon hun and likely to just be a bug. Try not to worry. Huge hugs xx

What a post - sometimes it's better not to say anything!

It is a bit scary and has scared me a bit. OP did ask if anyone had had it though xx

She did - but I think she was after reassurance!
