No: Your child's intestine most likely has the same bacteria that you have, so you are unlikely to become ill. Good luck in your pregnancy.

Not particularly: The average alert adult puts their fingers to their face (contaminated by germs) 6 times an hour.This automatic behavior eventually leads to all the germs you have in your gut anyway. Those common gut germs are what baby has too, and they rarely leave the gut to cause an infection.Only germs that enter your blood have any access to the fetus.Try to relax and get rest when you can. You will do fine
