Hi there, I wanted to start a new thread because most threads mentioning toxoplasmosis are very light on actual personal cases of testing positive with women expressing paranoia or proffering dietary advice. Right now I don't need people telling me what to eat etc and where I might have contracted it.... That horse has bolted. I jam waiting an agonising 14 working days for my bloods to be analysed further (somewhere in Cardiff apparently) to see if my +ive is a throw back to an older infection. I have 2 children (3&5) and one subsequent unexplained ectopic. This is therefore technically my 4th pregnancy. Despite having had cats at the time (which i have not in a few years) i tested negative. I must have contracted it sometime since the birth if my son in early 2010... or -and i hope not- recently which might make it active in my current pregnancy. What I'd really appreciate is anyone who has had an active infection during pregnancy, particularly early and mid pregnancy and what they did about it. I am normally very hard to ruffle but am quite concerned of the risk of birth defects - albeit slight- that this carries. Any thoughts much appreciated.
