Pregnant & have cats

Hi mummies , i heard that if u are pregnant and have cat , it is best to stay away from their litter box as far as u can as it may affect baby . Is that true ? I have cats at home and i try to stay away by always being in the room 24/7 . Also , with my constantly stuffed nose , i cant usually smell anything but still i avoid their litter box. Anyone have heard of this or avoided this during their pregnancy ? #firsttimemom #pleasehelp #advicemommies #advicepls

I have 3 cats! My husband clears the cat litter box so that’s fine. Toxoplasmosis is pretty rare I think esp if your cats are indoor cats :) I also did a blood test later on in my pregnancy to check if I had toxoplasmosis

But your cat litter box isn’t so close to your face right 😆 I’m pretty sure if you’re not directly near it it’ll be fine :) don’t worry!
