Take it to a good ventilated area, use mask and gloves. You shall be fine
If he canāt simply change the kitty litter box, I wonder what he will be like when it comes to diaper changing
The littlethings matterā¦
I also was pregnant and had a cat i just used 2 masks to change itā¦my baby was fine
You can still scoop & change the litterā¦wear a mask (Iām sure you probably have plenty of those! Ha). I did when I was pregnant and have 3 beautiful, healthy kids!
If your cats are indoor itās very unlikely they could have toxoplasmosis anyway. But to be extra safe, wear gloves and wash your hands well after š¤· not that serious.
Gloves and mask, not a big deal. Definitely shouldnāt get rid of your catsā¦ maybe the baby daddy but not the cats
Cleaned litter trays all my pregnancies, my cats and all my fosters. You are fine, just wash your hands a little longer than you would usually. Then maybe find out what else the boyfriend wonāt be cleaning/touching in the future once your child arrivesā¦.
Throw on some gloves and scoop the poopā:roll_eyes:
Wear a double mask or buy a self cleaning litter box to make you come less in contact.
Also stop doing his laundry and only cook for your self.
Everyone that is saying that you should rehome your boyfriend is wrong. Re-gifting trash isnāt nice.
Ur bf sucks. Use gloves.
Selfishness destroys relationships, get rid of him
Wear a mask? If heās not even helping your well-being now I feel sorry for you when that baby comes. He sounds very selfish. Definitely keep the cats over him
Wear a mask and gloves while changing the litter. Always wash your hands. I had cats through 5 pregnancies amd never an issue.
Uhm I would definitely not rehire the cats and regime the boyfriendā¦ (obviously thatās not the smartest idea since heās the father of your baby) but itās been side in above commentsā¦. If heās acting this way before baby is here then itās only going to get worse and worseā¦ā¦ itās not the fact that they are his cats but itās that fact that itās dangerous for the mother of his child and his growing child for you to change the litter, so he need to grow some balls and change the littler for a few monthsā¦ā¦
I changed mine. Just wear gloves and wash well afterwards.
Only here for the comments Iām dying
My daughter had 2 cats. After having a micro preemie, baby in hospital for months and therapies 4 days a week, my daughter just didnt have time or energy to clean litter boxes. Having a special needs child takes all you have to give.
I had 7 major surgeries in the same number of years. I was just not able to deal with two litter boxes. No one else in the house took responsibility. I finally got everyone to agree that the cats had to go. It was time.
I wear a mask a gloves to change our cats litter box. My fiance wonāt do it cause his stomach is weak. I did it during my first pregnancy and I still do it and Iām pregnant with baby #2
Adios mo fo!! Is he not going to change diapers too?!?
What kind of shit is this?? Girl, go clean the damn litterbox. just because your pregnant doesnāt mean your man becomes your slave.
Wear gloves, and if it makes you feel safer, wear a mask.
You can safely change the litter yourself with gloves and even a mask! Which should be easy enough for you to do to keep your kitties! But Iām just saying if your boyfriend makes you go through with doing that while youāre pregnant with his childā¦ Iād seriously re-home him back to his motherās house!š¤· Good luck
Id rehome the boyfriend
But Iām pregnant and my husband is military and gone a lot, so I clean with gloves and a mask!
Rehome the boyfriend
Omg. Just change the cats litter and wash your hands when youāre done. Youāre pregnant, not handicapped. You can still continue your life normally and take care of your own petsā¦
You need gloves, a mask, and some poison spray to get rid of the manā¦ just some gloves should do for that kitty poo tho.
Wear a mask. The only issue with the cat litter is something that outdoor cats catch. Mine were raised and stayed inside so I changed the litter with mine. Just wore a mask and washed hands very well mainly because of the cat urine
Rehome the boyfriend!
Keep the cats. Just wear a mask and gloves. I cleaned litter boxes with both of my pregnancies and both kids are fine.
You can change the litter !
If youāre super worried you can wear a cloth mask too. No risk as long as you wash!!
I changed the cat litter when I was pregnant. Why canāt u
Umm. Your cats you change their sh** boxā¦
Wear gloves if need be.
Girl good luck getting him to do anything with the baby! Heās gonna say itās āyoursā too!
When I was pregnant, I just put something over my face and all good
Your pregnant not broken
Same tho lol . I did it my whole pregnancy. Just wear gloves wash your hands and possibly wear mask if possible AND he does help me with our daughter lol. He just donāt fw with the cat liter
You can still do it. Just wash your hands well afterwards. Hopefully the hubs grows up before the baby comes - as a parent it is no longer your needs/wants that come first. He has a rude awakening coming!
Then change your boyfriend.
Mine never did for any 3 of mine, and theyāre all a ok if that makes you feel any better. Try to hold your breath or pull shirt over face
Rehome his ass well youāre at it. Its his baby and that is one of the most selfish things he could do. Endanger his own child, despicable
Do not re-home your cats. He needs to step up and be a man (and future father) I assume
Selfish Iād say he cares more about himself than his child you are carrying
WELL sweetie, thats a CLEAR indication that the Health of His baby isnāt important to him. In my opinion its also a Huge red flag of the Father he isnāt going to be. I would wear a mask and gloves .
Rehome the self-centered boyfriendā¦ā¦ā¦
They are your cats not his. Put a mask and gloves on and do it yourself. I donāt feel that itās fair to be mad at him cause he doesnāt want to scoop crap.
Sounds like they are your cats so change the litter, wash your hands. Obviously he doesnāt care for them, and you know it.
Gloves and mask. Throw the bf out with the shit
Haha good luck with nappies too thenā¦.
I use to have cats cover your
Faceā¦ and get rid of the man !
Iād rehome the boyfriend
I have 2 kids. I changed litter every day and cleaned out the box holders once a week. wear gloves, wash your hands and donāt lick the litter box. youāll be fine.
Wash your hands really well- wear disposable gloves and wash your hands would be a double way of protection. I tell my daughter when she changes it to wash her hands every time. Toxoplasmosis is not a light thing.
Just tell him if he doesnāt thereās going to be cat piss and shit all over his stuff jkā:joy: you can wear a mask too itās just the inhaling of the litter thatās the issue. Iāve made it threw 3 pregnancies now and have changed out the litter box throughout them all. Just take extra precautions
I did it when pregnantā¦face covering and gloves and wash hand thoroughly. Iād hate to see how he is about helping to change diapers and feed the baby when he or she comes.
If itās his baby tell him to put his big boy pants on and do it. Is he going to not change the babyās diaper either?
Just make sure you wash your hands
Use gloves and wash your hands.
Lol.
Iām 30 and have three children. I ask have five cats. I never stopped cleaning their boxes. I wear a mask and gloves with zero issue. The concern is toxoplasmosis but unless your cats have it (which it would be VERY obvious if they did) there is nothing risky about changing and cleaning their boxes.
I always did . Wear a mask and gloves if he wants to be a child. If that is how your future childās father acts now , wait until the baby comes !
I changed my cats litter box when pregnantā¦no problems!
Since youāve been around cats for many years before your pregnancy then youāll be fine changing the litter box
When I was pregnant with both of my children I changed our cats litter box because my fiance has NEVER cleaned it and I didnāt expect him too since they have always been mine
I would rehome the boyfriend. What a jerk. Even though theyāre your cats, itās 9 months of his life. It shows a level of selfishness that will just carry over with kids.
Re-home the boyfriend and hire someone once or twice a week or if they are strictly indoor and have the vaccines gloves and a mask
The only time youād get sick from it is if you have outside cats that caught a certain bacteria, otherwise thereās no actual risk.
Re-home the boyfriend!
Wear a mask and gloves
i was told with my first pregnancy never touch or go near the litter or change it after the fact of couple times did because didnt know at the time and i never did after that because of toxoplasmosis
I changed my cats litter boxes during both of my pregnancies - Just wash your hands really well and if you feel more comfortable, wear a bandanna or mask while doing so.
I had to clean the litter boxes while pregnant. I just wore gloves and washed my hands afterwards. But I would definitely wear a mask too for double safety.
Wear a mask and gloves and wash your hands really good , I changed all the cat boxes when I was pregnant with all my kids .
You can buy automatic cat litter box and find a new boyfriend.
Rehome the boyfriend!!
Wear a mask. I have 3 cats and Iām 30 weeks pregnant I just wear a mask.
Re-home the boyfriend.
Just be sure to wash your hands well and clean the litter box daily. The toxoplasma parasite does not become infectious until 1-5 after being shed in the cats feces. So as long as you are being cautious (you can even wear a mask, gloves) just be sure to wash you hands well and clean the box daily.
I cleaned it while pregnant without any issues. Wear a mask and gloves, voila!
I changed my cat litter when I was pregnant. With both my kids and I never had any issues. As long as you use a scoop and wash your hands after. I donāt see the big deal.
Wear a mask and gloves. Wash your hands when youāre done. Donāt be one of those pregnant women that canāt do anything. Thatās annoying af
Ew sorry for his lack of 50% 50%
Rehome the man child and then wear gloves and a mask and clean it yourself. Itās a risk but not one worth getting rid of the cats. Itās very rare and a specific bacteria
I really is a myth I had two kids n changed litter it does not causes issues
Wear a mask and gloves
Wear a mask and gloves when you do it. Then wash your hand afterwards. I done it when I was pregnant and didnt even wear make and gloves. I think as long as you donāt touch you will be fine
Remove & Rehome the so called boyfriendā¦Sounds like ur gonna have 2 kids when the baby comes
Re-home the boyfriend
Were gloves if so worried
Rehome the BF. Just kidding, have your OB explain all the risks of changing/cleaning out the litter box to him. Maybe that will help him to understand what risk it puts you and baby at.
He should do itā¦ buuut you can change it if you used gloves and mask for extra protection
And wash hands after (: congratulations BTW!
I worked at an animal shelter my entire first pregnancy. Youāll be okay to change it. But also, he sounds like a douche canoe. You need to level up.
Ok-so-
1- throw out the bf-if he cant help with litter to help keep u n baby healthy- BOI Bye!
Simple task-if he cant help with it is he gna be like that with baby reaponsibilities?!
2- wear gloves and a mask and u should be fine!
You should probably take this as a heads up on your relationship with this guy. Sounds pretty Fākn childish to me. Got a hunch you picked wrong one to share parenthood with.
Re- home boyfriend!!
they sell a automatic one
I wouldnāt change it either.
Just change it it is ok
I wore gloves and a mask
My bf was the same way so I used an N95 mask and gloves. After I washed my hands/arms and didnāt have any issues.
If you had the cats prior to pregnancy and they are strictly indoor cats your risk of toxoplasmosis is relatively low. They get it from rodents, so if they arenāt catching and eating infected rodents you should be fine. Wear gloves and a mask that you can throw away, clean the box in a well ventilated area, and wash your hands properly afterwards.
