I am 14 weeks preganant and have a pet cat, can it be risky for my baby or me? Also how do I care post delivering the baby..

My friend has 3 cute kitties at home and she has two healthy kids who get along with one another wonderfully so it's perfectly possible to have cats around during pregnancy. According to her, her interaction and relationship with the cats did not change throughout both pregnancies. She fed, played and cuddled with them as per normal. She also commented that the cats seem to know that she was with child and was extra protective and loving around her. The only things she did differently was to assign all kitty-litter cleaning duties to her husband or her pretty much anyone else who is at home haha. The mommy who commented above gave a good explanation of toxoplasmosis, which she was very aware and careful with. She usually gives her kitties a bath every weekend but during her pregnant state, she would get her husband to do it or send them to a groomer because she was not up to dealing with her water-fearing cats running around the bathroom haha.
