zoo?

It is my daughter's second birthday on July 11 . Last year I took her to the zoo which she enjoyed immensely despite not being able to walk.  So this year Id like to take her back as she would be able to run around and enjoy herself even more, trouble is I will be 26 weeks pregnant and people are telling me not to go. I've been told by midwife to stay away from sheep and cows so maybe there's something to it?  I've asked around but got a mixed response some say go some say the animals will give me and baby diseases..  I'm disappointed as I want to go.. What do you ladies think?

My daughter's 4th birthday is July 2nd, and I have taken her every year to the zoo on her bday. I'm still going to this year, and ill be 38+1 when I do. I want her to enjoy her last bday as an only sibling. I think you should go. It will be a great memory.

I can't imagine you getting any diseases from looking at animal in enclosures, but i agree with shell, as long as you're not touching any of them x

Ask your Dr to be sure but I don't see any harm in it maybe just don't go into petting zoo?
