Pregnancy and Germs

May 2, 2008

I have this strange thing that happens to me during pregnancy, which is that I am grossed out by the thought of germs. It is not bad to the point that I have a tough time or anything like that but it keeps me thinking. I knew I was pregnant when I started to just throw things out, which I almost never do. It ranges from old clothes to food in the fridge. I just feel like it has no room in my life anymore and must go. Now the germ thing is strange because I start to feel like bacteria is everywhere and things must be clean. Luckily, I have two ladies who clean my house weekly and do a major scrub but in the last few days I find myself scrubbing the floors and washing Max’s hands. On a side note, before I met my hubby I was never a “germaphobe”. I did not really think of germs and then came my hubby and his family, well especially his father and step-mom, who are obsessed with germs. Now after being with my hubby, I am that girl. I have always flushed toilet with my feet in a public bathroom but now I open doors with my sleeve. I do not think anyone notices but I actually find it very funny. I guess over time we really do become like our partners. The good part o=about this germ things is that it really motivates me. It actually gets my ass to really get cleaning in my kitchen. I am by no means a dirty person and I do not keep a dirty house but the germ thing has me vacuuming after dinner. LOL Through out  out Max’s whole life I have used only natural products that I buy at Whole Foods but now I want real bleach and Real Kitchen Cleaners with Bleach and Clorox and all of those products that are horrible but they make me feel like things are clean. But I am only using them with gloves. I don;t want to harm myself or the baby with too much bleach. Did you experience any funny things like this during pregnancy and if you are a guy-then did your wife?
