Well.. I dont know where to start.. I've told you along time ago how my brother eric has anger issues and yells at me all the time.. And he's also very stupid.. Heres what happens today..

I moved my cats litter box a couple weeks ago because I heard that the fumes from a litterbox can make your baby be deff or blind or even die. So I moved it into the back room from my room.. When ever we went out we use to lock the cat in my room because he loves to get into things and try to eat the birds..

Well today when I got home from shawns place I get in and I notice that the dog greets me but not the cat.. And we let the cat roam now so it was weird.. I go to head to the bathroom and I notice my doors closed and theres a board against it. So I know my cats locked up.. And I know he was locked up since 4 cause thats when my brother went to work. And it was now 11.. And I assume a cat would take a crap between 4-11 and sure enough I open my door to a big woof of cat crap.. Im not blaming wewu for crapping cause it wasnt his fault for going in the wrong spot. Its erics and I had to move the cat crap because nobody else in my family will. Shawn said he would clean the litterbox and he hasnt done it and its full and u can smell it in the hall so im probably gonna have to do it too.. Im getting so fed up with it because I dont want to loose my baby over my brothers retardedness and shawns laxyness.

Sorry for this being so big im just pissed right off.. And if I say anything to eric he'll just tell me that its a big lie a bout the litterbox thing and that im a person for beliving it and then i'll say no it isnt and I rather listen to it rather then having a messed up baby cause your a health question. And then he'll smack me and call me stupid

I'd get rid of the cat, because to me its not worth the risk of harming the baby, plus they leave so much hair everywhere, and thats not good for kids to be around...Doesnt it cause asthma sometimes? Think I read that somewhere, not too sure, aint very hygienic though if you have a baby especially. Im not a cat person lol

Actually its fine to be near a litter box ur just not supposed to clean when pregnant unless your wearing a mask due to the fact you can get toxoplasmosis (spelling?) anyways if you have had cats since a young age you probally already had it!!

When they do your 4 month blood work you can actually request that they test you for toxoplasmosis if you have the antibodies then no worries if you dont then put a mask on when cleaning kitty litter~!!

Im allergic to cats but your body becomes immune to them after awhile so your allergies stop buothering now I wouldnt recommending facing your allergies dead on with (food allergies.)

you dont have to get rid of her just becarful after you have the baby, my cat got jealous and kept trying to jump in the crib and they can smother the baby so when they say keep on eye on the baby it really does apply!

My cousin said it isn't even safe to pet your cats while you're pregnant.. what? I've never heard that.

But my sisters &boyfriend are nice &take care of the litter for me. I couldn't live without my kitties.

W/e cats arent harmful to you if youve had cats before because you have most likely contracted that tox thing and there is nothing you can do about it now. Ask your doc he/shell tell ya.I had cats with macy and liam and they are both fine as well as my mom had cats with all three of us and my grandma let her cat sleep with all six of her kids and we are all just fine

My mom had cats with us, but they were all outdoor cats but we're fine.. I cant see petting a cat making u sick.. Plus wewu dosnt go on counters or things like that so I dont think that will do anything.. But I will talk to my doctor tomorrow cause I have an appointment and I will let you guys know what I find out incase any of u are interested

The risk is very low if you take proper precautions.

Wear gloves/mask when changing the litter box.
Keep your pets vaccines, flea treaments and worming up to date.
Keep the litter box clean (don't let it build up).
Wash your hands after handling your pet.
Wash your hands before eating.
Wash all food prep areas before use (and after).

You are more likely to get toxoplasmosis from dogs than cats.
If you have had a dog/cat for any length of time chances are you already had toxoplasmosis anyway.
You can have a blood test done to check for toxoplasmosis anti-bodies but this is only worthwhile if you had a check done before you got pregnant, as it only shows you have the antibodies not when you got toxoplasmosis.

If you follow basic hygiene rules the chances of getting it are so low. It's a bit like saying don't go out in the street in case you get hit by a car.

Thats just normal hygiene washing your hands /food prepping areas (love ur post kia...

Anyways dont be worried I view animals as being part of a family, like I said originally dont be too worried its nothing big if you take precautionary steps!! I still have my cat but she knows better than to jump in the crib if she does I throw her outside...

Yeah I went to the doctors today but the doctor was trying to get the appointment over so I didn end up asking because he kept walking away.. I also was going to ask if I could go to a diff hospital so I could find out if its a boy or girl but nooooo.. He kept leaving.. And I asked my due date and he didnt tell me he just said "uhm.. Early november" then when he gave me the sheet for my blood work it said my due date is november 5th.. Grr

Awww - go and get a second opinion - well they call it that even if there's nothing to be opinionated about (hope that made sense) -

maybe he/she had a lot on his/her plate... But yeah definitely ask to find out the sex if you want to - the only way they cannot tell you is if they have an emergency to attned to or if they can't find it. Other than that they pretty much have to answer all your questions - including ones about the baby's gender.

It was your time, she shouldnt have rushed you - you could have stalled saying something really important. Go to another doctor.

Yeah.. My doctor told me he wont tell us what it is because some religions abort their baby if its a girl and some people abort the baby if it isnt the sex they want.. Which is really cruel I think.. But yeah I want to know.. Im going to talk to my friend tiff and ask her if her sister found out what shes having or if shes even allowed to

not religions, cultures. Look up china's one-child policy and the fall-out from placing greater 'value' on male children. Warning- it's not pretty.

Who the hell is your doctor to refuse to tell you the sex of the baby? How far along are you?

Yeah that happens here too, when I was carrying my children, my doctor said he wasnt allowed to tell me the sex either...It sucks!
We could have found out at a hospital about 20miles away but they were charging £200 for it and at the time we didnt have the spare money
