Pregnant women 7 months only occasional contact with cats will not have any effect on the fetus, prolonged contact with cats or cleaning up cat feces may increase the probability of toxoplasmosis virus infection.
7 months pregnant only occasional contact with cats, usually the contact with cats is relatively small, this situation will not affect the growth and development of the fetus. Frequent contact with cats and cleaning up cat feces may cause infection with Toxoplasma gondii virus. Infection with Toxoplasma gondii virus in late pregnancy will have an impact on the growth and development of the fetus, such as fetal growth retardation and fetal arrest.
Toxoplasma gondii infection also has an effect on the central nervous system of the fetus, causing conditions such as hydrocephalus, spina bifida, and microcephaly. It causes damage to the development of the optic nerve, resulting in fetal retinal chorioretinopathy.
Toxoplasma screening can be done before and during pregnancy, and cats in the home should be checked regularly to prevent transmission of toxoplasmosis to pregnant women.
