Is Accidental Ingestion Of A Worm Harmful During Pregnancy?
Hi. Today i was having a guava. I had two to three bites of it. After that saw that there was a worm in it and so discarded. But I am worried if I had accidentally eaten it in the first half. Also I am 22 weeks pregnant and it is getting me worried to the core. Will it affect my baby or me?
Hello, i can understand your concern. Do not panic. If you have any symptoms of food poisoning like vomitings, diarrhoea etc, kindly consult a doctor. If you donot have any symptoms, there is no need to worry about it. This will not have any effect on your baby. Hope i have answered your query. have a nice day
