Ok I was just wondering if it is normal to
get itchy from cats/dogs
while pregnant I live in a one bedroom
apartment and I have two cats
and just recently I have been getting
itchy from them after I pet them and stuff
like I dont know what to do should I send
them to the humaine society???

I've never heard of that happening during
pregnancy. Maybe instead of getting rid
of them, give them to a friend [or two
friends] to keep until after your baby is
born.

When I was pregnant my obstetrician told
me that you are more likely to develop
sudden allergies because your immune
system is dampened down in order to
prevent your body from rejecting the baby
as a foreign body. Since I have
allergies anyway, I was told to be extra
careful.
I think it would be a good idea for you to
let someone else look after your pets,
either temporarily or permanently. I
know it's hard to do though because they
are like part of the family.

I agree with happybaby. Its hard to get
rid of the furballs, but its best for your
health and the baby. I hope you aren't
currently changing the kitty
litter...That's a no no...I love cats and
dogs! I don't have a pet, but I still
have lots of allergies, and I think i'd go
crazy if I had one right now.

Allergies can start at any time in your
life. What you can today doesnt mean you
can tomorrow..

No im not changing the litter I get my bf
to do it. But I think I am going
to end up taking them to the humaine
society not only because I m starting to
become alergic to them. But they are
starting make messes
around the house and it is unsanitary and
digusting and I want the best for my
unborn baby thanks for your help :)
