2 questions...

I am 8weeks+3days.
Should i be eating the foods that make me feel sick? For example bananas and certain cereals.They have both triggered my morning sickness and made me vomit and feel sick and dizzy.
Does this mean i shouldnt eat them at all? Because i usually eat cereal everyday and love bananas.

My second question is about my cat. Ive heard alot of bad things about cats and pregnant women bit have any of you actually experienced anything? I have had him since he was a baby. I love him to death i dont know what i would do if i had to get rid of him!

My family are just worried cause my cat sleeps with me everynight. He doesnt have a kitty litter, he goes outside to do his business lol, he is in everynight but we have a cat flap on the back door for him.
My sister told me she got sick off bananas aswell for the first 3 months and could only eat grapes and dry toast. I hope i dont get that bad !! :S

Its the ammonia produced by cats' waste that causes for concern. Drs usually prefer that you steer clear of the litter box and someone else do it is all. Just so you're not breathing in the fumes.

If certain foods make you sick, don't eat them. And most of the things you hear about cats and pregnant women and babies is old wives tales. So don't get rid of kitty. However have someone change the litter box, due to risks associated with that.

I would maybe just not eat those things first thing. I was the same n I changed to toast for breakfast. its cats litter u have to b careful with. Along as u use rubber gloves and wash ur hands thoroughly after cleaning the litter tray u will b fine. I have a 9month old kitten and I am now 24 weeks pregnant and fine. good luck

1. If they make you sick I wouldn't eat them but that may change later on in pregnancy.
2. I have had the cat thats at my parents since he was a kitten and I've had no issues. I've heard to watch them when baby is born because they can suffocate the baby, but I honestly think it depends on the cat. You probably know him best!
