Question

Can I keep a dog during pregnancy? I’m worried it might affect the fetus.

Answer

Hello: It is recommended that you do not keep a dog. Dogs may carry toxoplasmosis, which can lead to birth defects. Moreover, during the first three months of pregnancy, the fetus has not fully formed, and the risk of deformities is higher upon infection. It is advisable to have regular prenatal checks. Additionally, staying hydrated and consuming vitamin-rich vegetables and fruits can also contribute to your health.
