Ok I am usually not a worry wort in any sense of the word...I've finally quit smoking, I've stopped the caffeine intake, I've tried to follow the what not to eats as best I can, but I'm having major anxiety over one thing lately- Meat!!! I'm petrified of uncooked meat. I have no problems going somewhere and ordering meat at a restaurant or anywhere but home, but when it's cooked at home, I almost instantly refuse to eat it and make myself something different altogether. No one's ever gotten sick from uncooked meats or bad meat in the house before, but ever since I got pregnant I just can't seem to make myself eat the meats that either my husband or I cook for dinner. I think it's so weird and I hate having this double meal making going out almost nightly, but it's just one fear I can't get over. Has anyone else had these anxieties over meats after finding out their pregnant???? It just seems weird to me and I hate feeling this way!! UGH!

 No, it's not just you!! I am 7 yrs post RNY and I am 6 weeks (after a miscarriage last month) and with me, it's fish. I can't even stomach the thought of eating red meat right now and I am freaked out that my fish is not cooked all the way. You are NOT alone!!!

Also, I had a massive tummy tuck last year and the tightness of my abdomen is making any type of bloating making me feel worse. I am 38 years old and my kids are 18 and 10. I am freaking here...also, I am a hospital administrator with 17 years of clinical experience and I swear, all of my education and experience does nothing for me here!!  And I work at a bariatric hospital!!!!
