During pregnancy, pregnant women have special physical conditions and need to be careful and cautious in their daily lives. Many pregnant women love small animals or pets and keep them at home. Even during pregnancy, their companionship is indispensable. However, can pregnant women come into contact with cats?
Pregnant women are not allowed to come into contact with cats, depending on the specific situation. If it is a domestic pet cat, it can come into contact. However, before that, it is necessary to conduct a blood test on the cat, give it a preventive shot, and regularly deworm the cat. If it is a stray cat, it is not recommended for pregnant women to come into contact with it. Because stray cats carry a lot of bacteria and may also carry Toxoplasma gondii virus, which parasitizes cells and is very harmful to the human body.
Furthermore, pregnant women can come into contact with cats, but during pregnancy, they should try to have independent activity space with cats and avoid touching their feces. They can ask other family members to help clean them up. When cleaning, gloves should be worn for cleaning, and hands should be washed clean in a timely manner after cleaning.
For other domestic pets or animals, pregnant women should also undergo relevant examinations and take preventive measures to provide as much safety as possible. Pregnant women should also strengthen various physical examinations during pregnancy to prevent accidental infection.
