Random don't of pregnancy

[zanacal]

I completely forgot for the first few weeks about not eating runny eggs - but my midwife told me it was ok to eat them if the egg has the lion stamp on it (UK) and I'm SO happy to still get my dippy eggs

Don't eat unpasturized cheeses or milk...so true but u can eat brie and other soft cheeses as long as they are pasturized (and most cheese sold in grocery stores are). i didn't know this for my first pregnancy so i didn't eat brie for 9 months!!! Torture.

Yeah, and all your meat needs to be well done! No rare steaks!

And don't change the litter box if you have a cat--that's TRUE!

I have somehow managed to keep this job as DH's - he started doing it when I was pregnant once and has bizarrely kept it up and not questioned it!!

Re the cat poos - wear gloves when gardening in case your cat, like mine, goes in the back of your borders!

Don't lift anything heavy and don't squat often! Esp don't lift something from the squat, rather bend.
I believe that's true?

[zanacal]

I thought bending to lift things was bad for your back and that you should bend your knees (ie squat!) to lift things!

My first pregnancy, I had a garden in the yard, and the neighbor's cat would poo in it all the time! I had no idea about toxoplasmosis, and I was gardening and eating the vegetables we were growing in there... I was SO lucky I didn't catch anything! The doctor tested me and I was fine, and I abandoned the garden, and made the neighbor come clean up after her kitty. I have been afraid of cat poo ever since.
