ok i have a kitten,and usually my oldest daughter changes it because im pregnant and i have heard your not supposed to change litter while pregnant. well she is at her papaws for the week,and the litter needs to be changed,is it very dangerous for me to do it myself? i have no one else to do it for me. i asked my friends and family and they didnt know,except one friend who told me it was deadly for me and baby to be around litter.......does anyone know about this? (tried callin my dr office and they said nobody was available to answer my question.

    yeah it can be dangerouse.. just look it up.. invite someone you know you could talk into it.. and if they argue or dont believe you than just show them proof.. lol.. they will be forced into it..

    Have a friend do it if possible if not Open ur windows or take it out side,,, ware gloves, and a mask of some kind,,, and wash ur hands and arms really good

    On baby center its says it can be dangerous. That someone else should do it for us. But if you have to make sure you wear gloves, wash gloves and hands afterwards

    If you have always had cats, you are mostly already exposed too and immune to the bacteria? That causes toxoplasmosis. If you were gloves, wash your hands, ect, you should be fine to do it occasionally.

    Being a cat lover I can tell you it I not recommended but if you have to please wear gloves and some kind of face mask to prevent you breathing in the amonnia in the cat pee. Also wash you hand PROPERLY once finished. I use a cat liner in my litter tray so I only touch the bag and don't have to wash the tray out. X

    I heard most cat owners build an immunity to it. I would still wear gloves and wash hands after. You should be fine.

    I changed it with my first pregnancy and now as well, I wear gloves and a face mask. And wash my hands once finished.
