Cat box during TWW?

Question

My vet caught me touching my tummy last week and asked if I was pregnant. I guess I was projecting my hopefulness or something. Anyway, she made sure I knew that you can't scoop cat boxes when KU due to risk of toxoplasmosis. My question is--is it safe to scoop during your TWW? For the TTC cat moms out there, what are you doing?

Answer

I wash my hands well afterward. Sometimes I cover my face but not all of the time.

Answer

I think the key word here is "probably" or "rare". That means it is possible to get sick no matter how "rare" or unlikely it may seem. The question is. Are you willing to risk your health and your possible fetis for a cat box? But hey.... I would take any excuse to get out of doing the cat box.

Answer

Did it through my whole pregnancy with my son, I always wash my hands well afterwards. Went to veterinary school, it's actually really rare to get toxoplasmosis. You basically have to ingest the feces.

Answer

As soon as we started ttc, DH took over litter box duty ? and with 4 cats, that's a lot of litter duty! Lol

​My obgyn told me that if changed daily and you immediately washed your hands you're probably safe, but we decided to just not even risk it.

Answer

this is very scary.  my daughter is pregnant and we are waiting on a second opinion on a positive for it. she has nothing to do with the litter box at all.  I'm praying that it is a false positive.

Answer

Completely forgot to avoid clearing my garden of my cats poo :( oops.

Answer

My husband does it. If he is out if town, I do it, but if during tww, I use a face mask and am sure to wash my hands very well after.
