On Friday, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a somewhat alarming travel alert. "Out of an abundance of caution," the agency advised, women who are pregnant (or planning to be pregnant) should "consider postponing travel" to 14 regions in South and Central America ? including Puerto Rico ? because of the risk of contracting the Zika virus.

I heard about this on the news here in Ontario.

This freaked me out because I was pregnant on our cruise in Dec (literally found out the day we got on the ship), and we stopped in Mexico, Belize, and Honduras. At that time no one was reporting this information so we didn't hear about it until we got back in January. I know I got bit by these super tiny black bugs - everyone was - but I don't think I got any mosquito bites and didn't experience any of the symptoms them mentioned. It's still pretty scary though! :-(
