I was tested for this before I got pregnant and was negative. 3 weeks ago I got tested again as my cats toilet habits changed from during the pregnancy from a litter tray cat to a garden cat. My results came back and I'm negative still but the doctor told the midwife that I should be really careful next time I get pregnant. Are some people more ( Read more... )

The ultrasound looked perfect, though it seemed like the baby is getting cramped in there (and she's not even half the size she'll be at birth!).
