I had a cat when I first got pregnant and my husband can’t do cat litter because the dust and everything from it triggers his asthma and he can’t breathe. I used gloves and turned my face away as much as possible and washed up after. If it’s an indoor cat it’s less likely to have diseases especially if you keep up with vet care. If it’s an outdoor cat I wouldn’t risk it. I did rehome the cat because my husband is allergic and we weren’t sure what our baby was gonna have. Plus we couldn’t afford it anyway. Do what you feel is right and give your selfish bf a piece of your mind. He won’t change cat box does that mean he won’t change diapers?
Wear a mask. I wouldn’t change it either if they weren’t my pets

Wear n95 mask and wear gloves to make sure you don’t get to inhale or touch the litter, and of course, wash your hands and arms too, just to be extra safe.

My husband did it for me when I was further along, before that I just made sure to either hold my breath or turn away during then thoroughly wash my hands after. If someone you’ve created a life with can’t help with something so minimal, I wonder how much worse it’ll get.

I’m sure you have plenty advice but for some facts about cats and pregnancy- your cats should be indoors only during pregnancy, this prevents them from contracting toxoplasmosis or other parasites. Toxoplasmosis is known to only be a problem if you consume feces that has been out for over two days, it isn’t present immediately. The ASPCA has more information, they say as long as you clean the litter every day and wash your hands there is no concern.

Do not rehome your kitties im 39 weeks pregnant and I work at an animal hospital i asked my doctor if I would be fine handling cat litter, she said aslong as I wear gloves and I’ve got a mask on I should be fine! I’ve also got cats at home aswell but my husband handles the litter box at home for me, aslong as you dont let it pile up and you keep ontop of it im sure you’ll be fine if your worried I would talk to your doctor about what he or she thinks! I also recommend using citrus magic pet litter odor eliminator to help with the smell its amazing stuff and smells like oranges!!

Wear gloves and mask…you will be fine…and your baby…
I am pregnant and have cats, I read that you should be fine if you use gloves, and a mask and wash your hands well after. Indoor cats that dont hunt or eat raw meat are not likely to carry toxoplasmosis. If you have had cats all of your life it is possible you have had it before and never known, that would create immunity in you and the baby would be protected. Definitely throw the boyfriend away, my boyfriend cleans the cat box and has never had cats ever.

I would rehome the boyfriend. Maybe ask a friend or someone in your family to come and help you until you can get this figured out.

Wow. That’s shitty. Does he realize that his unborn child & you can get very sick? Did he choose to be in a relationship with you, knowing you had cats, before you got pregnant? While you figure that out, wear a mask, put only small amounts of litter in the boxes & dump it all in an outdoor can to clean it. Then take a serious look at his lack of compassion & consideration.

While I think he should help you I just want to say that recently this was discussed on a vet page I follow. What they were saying is that the toxoplasmosis is transmitted to the cat when they eat a rodent. If you have an indoor cat only and you clean the litter right away with gloves and washing your hands right after it shouldn’t be an issue.

You can wear gloves and a mask & change the litterbox. I did it through all of my pregnancies with no issues. Or switch to the sifting liners that just pull out the clumps.

If you have indoor cats, the chances of them having toxoplasmosis are very low. Wear gloves and you should be fine!

You should get rid of the boyfriend. He is showing you now what he truly thinks of you and of your future child. He is selfish and it will only get worse. This is not the man you should plan to spend the rest of your life with. He will not help you now, he will not help you with the baby, he will not help you at all and will only cause your heartache.

Aside from the future father being a whimp and a jerk, you’ll be fine wearing gloves and keeping up good hand hygiene. If you are concerned you can have your kitties checked at the vet. Chances are they are just fine.
Is he not going to change diapers then either ?

Take necessary precautions when changing the litter box. But while reading this post I think you have MUCH bigger problems than having to change the litter box. Your boyfriend sounds like an ass and not very loving at all. Makes you wonder what kind of father he will be if he treats you this way

I used a disposable litter box. Mask, gloves and just wrap the whole thing in a garbage bag. Cat litter grosses some people out. I get it.
Re-home that shitty ass bf for one, and I’m a single mom who relied on her 13 yr old to take care of her kitty potty box but if I had to I wore gloves and a filtered mask to do it and thoroughly washed my hands not hand sanitizer but antibacterial soap afterwards to take care of my baby. And again fuck any boy who refuses to not step up and be a man in form !! Arielle Owens
Litter robot a refurbished is $400 but all you have to do is pull the bagged kitty litter out and to the outside trash and put a new bag.
Maybe wear a mask and wash your hands good?

Take as many precautions as necessary. Gloves, garbage bags masks what ever it takes . If three smaller boxes makes it easier to life do so
It’s really not that serious. I did extensive research and was able to safely change my litter boxes for all 3 of my pregnancies. Wear a mask and gloves. Super simple.

I’m not big on pets, so I also wouldn’t be able to clean it…
Can the cats be outside thru your pregnanc?
Rehome the bf. as long as your cats are strictly indoor cats I guess the threat of toxoplasmosis (the reason pregnant women shouldn’t mess with litter) is extremely low. With that said as long as they stay indoors and your quick about it and wash your hands good before doing anything else your risk is slim to none!

You can also get toxoplasmosis from a cat scratch or if they lick anywhere you are scratched. It’s the whole cat not just the poop.

And while you’re at it tell your boyfriend to grow the fuck up because he better get use to cleaning up shit and piss that doesn’t belong to him 
And if he refuses than rehome him. Solved 
I just wore a mask, my husband was alway adamant that he didn’t want cats because he hated cat litter.
Use a mask and do it yourself… but id consider rehoming that boyfriend. He seems childish by his response. if he can’t do a small thing now for you I wouldn’t have high hopes for him in the future. I took in rehomed cat cause my ex best friend new dick dint like her cats my husband dint really want them but did not tell me no and when I ask him to help me with liters freeding or whatever. He does it no question

Step 1: rehome boyfriend
Step 2: use rubber gloves and mask and wash your hands and arms throughly after cleaning. If you are still concerned try to clean in a well vented area, maybe have a fan blowing to circulate the air or you can consider purchasing an air purifier for the area the cat box is in. Getting pregnant doesn’t mean you have to give them up, just take extra precautions is all.

Start using drawstring liners that you can just tighten to close and off it goes. No scooping. Then you put on a mask and gloves to do it, and wash well immediately after.

As long as they aren’t outdoor cats and up to date with shots you’ll be completely fine. I had three cats through both pregnancies and they’re both healthy active toddlers. Make sure you wash your hands well and do your best not to inhale the dust particles.
