I wonder whether PS pregnant ladies have been checked for this.
I recently discovered that the UK doesn't screen for this routinely, whereas my friends from other countries seem to get blood work testing for this and a dozen other infections every month!
I wouldn't normally be concerned, except that up until now I haven't really been careful about what I eat. I've been trying to wash vegetables - but not any differently than before - and I haven't really been making sure my meat is well done. Also, my parents have cats; they're only allowed in the garden but my parents grow vegetables in the garden (which I ate when I was there a couple of weeks ago!). I'm sure they washed everything, but I don't think my mum knew enough to make sure she didn't serve anything that wasn't washed thoroughly!
Anyway, now I'm worried. I'm even considering paying privately to get the test done...
