    Cats and litter boxes can cause toxoplasmosis Google it. I don't know how to spell it. You can only eat a certain amount of shellfish. Stay away from swordfish. Some people don't get stretch marks I didn't till I was pregnant with my second

    Go buy the book pregnancy week by week :) it will give you tons of information!!! Until then, stay away from littler boxes, you can only have 12 ounces of fish a week but there are only certain kinds of fish you can have. Make sure you heat lunchmeat before you eat it. All meats should be cooked thoroughly, start taking prenatal vitamins as well as folic acid, set up your ob appointments, and wic appointments. :) congrats!

    Best thing to do: browse around these forums and app AND the What To Expect app. Also buy the What To Expect book.

    Stretch marks- Bio-Oil, Vitamin E oil, cocoa butter lotion, Aveeno lotion.
    Cats- yes just use gloves when emptying the litterbox (gardening too) and keep everything as clean as possible. Wash sheets and things that kitty lays on often.
    There is a list of foods to stay away from in this app, check it out.
