Hello,
This is going to sound totally irrational and ridiculous (and no doubt it is) but my pregnancy is making me over-obsess about everything (currently 18 weeks). I would like some reassurance please.
Last night at a restaurant I went to the restroom and hovered close to, but didn't sit down on the seat (I never do in public restrooms). I noticed some wet toilet paper (didn't seem to be anything on it, but who knows) near the top of the inside of the bowl, but didn't think anything of it really. But it was one of those automatic flushing toilets and half-way through peeing it flushed by itself. After about 1 or 2 seconds I stopped peeing and moved away, waited for it to finish flushing and then went back and finished my business. Is there any chance that I can get any type of infection (STD or otherwise) or bacteria in my private parts from the water flushing down the previous bit of toilet paper and a possible fine spray of water upwards towards me? I was able to shower about 45 minutes later. Please tell me I am being ridiculous if necessary! I know I am probably being illogical but I need to move past this. Thank you.
