I need people to reassure me!

I accidentally just swallowed a cherry pit. Normally, I wouldn't worry but according to a bunch of websites they do contain some cyanide and I'm pregnant and don't want to do anything to hurt the baby. So now I am waiting for someone in my doctor's office to call me back so I can find out if I have just done something really bad. ;;_;; I so don't want my belly pumped or for them to make the baby come early but I also don't want to poison her!

Until this, she's been doing great. I've started keeping track of my 10 movements 2x a day and she's been getting in her movements in like 15 minutes! (instead of the 1-2 hours you are allotted.) She's been kicking me the last few minutes in particular.

In other baby news... I... am in shock. My brother's wedding is like week 33, week 33!! That does not sound so far away from when you give birth as I first thought and my shower is week 36!!! That is almost term. This also makes me realize I need to figure out what I want to register for and do all the baby things I need to do and just too much!

I guess if I don't get a call back by 5 I can try the nurse line with my insurance or maybe the poison control hotline.... >>;

EDIT Doctor called me back and it is all fine, it seems you need to eat a lot of pits for it to be an issue not 1. Also my glucose test was confirmed to have gone well and I do not have gestational diabetes!!!! Go me! So now all I have left I think is a Strep B test and the typical routine urine and blood pressure tests. But I think I am done with blood work! :D Ryu-chan is still kicking me a lot.

Unless you've bitten through the pit, it should pass through you undigested :)

You think so? It was definitely swallowed whole. I think I've gotten so use to taking huge vitamins that is just slipped right now. I think from now on I am going to be more careful with cherries though!

Definitely was swallowed whole. But thanks, I need to hear this >>;

*hugs*

You and your baby will be fine.

This.

I don't think it will harm the baby, because the seed will pass undigested and any poison would need to be in the bloodstream for it to affect the baby.

However, I would call poison control anyway to confirm and give you some peace of mind!

This. You should be fine. :-) But certainly talk to a medical specialist for peace of mind.

Hope you got that phone call from the doctor's by now. <3

*hugs* Thankfully that is what the doctor said. I owe you an email, sorry for being so behind, but the drive home went splendidly and I did it in record time! :D

That is what the doctor said, but sometimes it is nice just to be safe.

It took a little bit, but I did hear back from a nurse who spoke to my doctor who said it is fine. I know the doctor is pretty cautious since she said I shouldn't have green tea because of the risk of bacteria from the drying process.

I talked to my current ob/gyn or rather a nurse at the office talked to her, and since she is pretty careful about things it made me VERY relieved to know that it would be OK and yeah the pit will just come out at some point.

I just like being on the safe side since I've been a bit ultra careful when it comes to the baby so far.

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Yes! I heard back and they told me I would be fine which was a huge relief and gave me the results of my most recent blood work as well.

I still can't believe how far along I am, it's a bit overwhelming.

[pure-trance.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, it's definitely best to call the dr. if you are concerned, even if you think it's over something stupid.

[spazzygirl19.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'm glad all is well. ^_^

[rkold.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and hey, it's why our insurance pays them money. >>;

So am I! She's being a little less active right now but that might also be because I am pre-occupied and using the computer. (or she does occasionally nap.)
