I noticed that you did not mention anything about a cat. If you have one, she must avoid changing the litterbox because this can transmit a disease called toxoplasmosis. My doctor was careful to warn me about this but not all doctors think about it.

Welcome to myLot We live in a society where it has become sort of unbareable to even breath. What is right for one pregnancy may not be right for another. You both need to ask the obstetrician as to what is proper and correct during pregnancy. Let's face it pregnancy and being a parent we do not come with manuals. Research and ask many questions, although you do not have to take it all in you must however do what is right for one another. Hope this helps.

That is what we are here for to give and take advice. Although we will not always agree it is the same with life. Let's face it being a parent does not come with a manual so listen to all advice and then do what is best.
