Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by a parasite. This parasite, called Toxoplasma gondii, can be found in cat feces and in undercooked meat. Pregnant people who eat well and exercise regularly along with regular prenatal care are less likely to have complications during pregnancy.
Painting while pregnant carries certain risks for your baby. We'll give you some ways to make it safer, but keep in mind that breathing in paint fumes…. During pregnancy, soaking in a hot tub may sound like a great way to relieve aches and pains. A new study finds that epidurals do not affect child development in their later years. A fetal arrhythmia is an irregular heart rate — too fast, too slow, or otherwise outside the norm. It's often benign. Postpartum diarrhea after a C-section is normal.
Change in odor— When a woman becomes pregnant, her body chemistry changes. This, in turn, can cause her distinct odor an odor her dog knows intimately to change. Remember, the amazing canine sense of smell can detect even the slightest change in odor. Imagine what a loyal, loving dog must think when the woman of the house suddenly begins to smell different.
Dogs can easily notice when his owner has a difficult time standing up, or when she waddles instead of taking big, fast strides. Changes in mood and behavior— As a dog owner, you've come to realize over the years that your dog can read your moods.
When it comes to moods, you simply cannot fool your dog. So it seems only natural that dogs will sense the mood and behavior changes that the woman of the house undergoes when she is pregnant. Pets are also highly attuned to changes in your daily routine — say, if you're not taking your dog for runs as often as you used to, if you're spending more time on the couch, or if family members are treating you with extra care. It's common for dogs to go on alert and become overprotective of their expecting owner from the very beginning of her pregnancy.

One woman I worked with had a difficult pregnancy and ended up on bedrest. Her dog refused to leave her side and had to be forcefully pushed outside to go to the bathroom. My own dogs waited patiently for me while I waddled through the park at a slower-than-normal pace.
Because they aren't as socially involved, cats are less likely to go through these sorts of behavioral changes. Three of my cats couldn't have cared less about my pregnancy. The fourth decided that my warm, vibrating belly was the best invention since cat food. I've heard other cat owners report a range of responses from uninterested to more loving and protective.
If they begin to misbehave or act out in a big way during your pregnancy, you might need to take them to a vet or trainer to sort this out. Thus, your cat can begin sensing your pregnancy way before you even know it. They can also become more living and protective, so make sure you notice all these signs. Studies also indicate that spending more time with a pet animal can improve the mood, reduce depression, lower blood pressure, and also help you live longer too.
