Hi I really need some advice to help me stop stressing

Hi Everyone,

I haven't posted for a few months now, but I am still around and have been reading all your posts and keeping up to date with things.

I have recently found out that I am pregnant - However I'm so so worried that I may have caused some harm to my unborn baby, about 2 weeks after ovulation I had a chemical face peel (as I have really bad acne) normally during the 2ww I wouldn't do anything of the sort, but because month after month I kept getting a bfn I thought this time it would be the same (it always happpens when you least expect it I suppose)

Can anyone please tell me if I could have caused some damage? I heard something a long time ago that during the first couple of weeks of pregnancy some things don't cross over to the baby -is this true.

I'm really stressing out about it and could really use some advice - I'm now almost 6 weeks pregnant.

TIA

Hi hun. As far as I know you should be fine because the chemicals were only on your face and they weren't on there that long to be able to absorb into your system. Plus I doubt that stuff would be strong enough to do any damage to an unborn baby otherwise they wouldn't be allowed to put it on your face in the first place.

Hi Lu Lu
Don’t worry hun your baby will be fine. There would be very little that you could put on or in your body that could harm your baby at that early stage

Thanks guys,

That has made me feel a lot more at ease. I just need to keep reminding myself that it was really early on and that people do all sorts of things in the early stages of pregnancy and go on to have healthy babies.

Thanks again guys :)

Hi Lulu
2 weeks after ovulation your bubba is usually implanting so don't worry it hasn't grown a placenta or attached itself to your blood supply yet :) You bubba will be fine!
oh and I had my galbladder out under a general and was on painkillers about that time.... DS was born fit and healthy :D

A lot of women wouldn't have a clue they were pg at 2 weeks & they're doing much worse things than a face peel.

Don't stress. :)
