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.
this tesr was done during pregnancy?
ok if ur test wqs negative in start of pregnancy that means u are not immune to disease.so u should avoid any handling of cat litter.because God forbid if any 1 acquires the infection during pregnancy it can cause problem in baby.as u said u are observing precautions so no need of yest now.have ur routine anomaly scan done.

Respected doctor, I need your guidance. Are cats really very harmful or is it just a myth?
