Talk to Gynecologist on Can I Pet My Cats During Pregnancy

person-avatar

Asking For Self, Female 27, karachi

Respected Doctor, It's my 19th week of pregnancy. I have cats at my home. I got tested for toxoplasmosis and Igg came back negative. I don't handle the cat's litter box, and I always wash my hands after touching or petting them. Now I'm skeptical about whether I should get myself tested for toxoplasmosis again or not. Because I'm not immune to the disease.
