Pets during pregnancy

Having cats are totally safe and fine especially when you have had them for many years. If you’re worried about toxoplasmosis, just inform your gynae to do a test on that for you for a peace of mind. I personally have 2 cats and has tested negative for toxoplasmosis during my first trimester. I don’t avoid cleaning their litter boxes or touching them at all, as I’m the sole caregiver. Hub has to work so I don’t rely on him. But all is fine and so is my pregnancy journey, I’m now waiting for labour anytime soon. And just fyi getting toxoplasmosis isn’t as simple as u think it is. U will need to ingest fresh cat fecal matter in order to really get infected by it. As long as u practice good hygiene, washing hands before and after every litter box cleaning, it’s more than good enough! So don’t worry mummy!
