Recaulking the shower?

I just had to play man of the house because mine doesnt feel like it! I bought EVERYTHING he needed to caulk the shower because it had been leaking on one wall. This was literally mid February. Yes he works but he generally has weekends off. So I finally got sick of it and did it myself. I didnt even think about the fact that the fumes could be harmful! Its cold out so of course I didnt open a window!
Do you think its ok? I mean that stuff stinks really bad! I had it all over my hands. I ripped up the old moldy crap with razors and Im sure that wasnt good either!  I feel like crap that being pregnant didnt even cross my mind! I just wanted it done! Its all his fault! He wouldnt even dump the catbox this morning for me because he "already started his truck" so I had to do that too and haul the heavy *** bag outside to the barrell too! Hes on thin ice! Ughh
38+6. Btw lol

Omg changing the litter is NOT that bad... as long as you do all the precautions... but you have other kids and they are just fine.... PLUS... your ready to deliver any day now... so if your baby would have gotten birth defects you would know by now... just keep doing what your doing Treksy... it'll all be fine... this isn't your first rodeo :)

Dannyzgirl before you go tellong people to get therapy do some research on topic at hand!

Pregnant women need to be aware that toxoplasmosis(TOX-so-plaz-MO-sis) can cause problems with pregnancy, including abortion. Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. This parasite is carried by cats and is passed in their feces (stool). However, people are more likely to get toxoplasmosis from eating undercooked meat or gardening than from contact with pet cats. By following simple safety tips, pregnant women can reduce the risk of getting toxoplasmosis from cats.

If you own a cat, have a non-pregnant person change the litter box every day. If there is no one else to change the litter box, wear gloves and wash hands with soap and running water after changing the litter.Risk may be reduced if the litter box is changed every day.Keep cats indoors.Avoid adopting or handling stray cats.Feed cats only canned or dried commercial cat food, never undercooked or raw meat.Do not bring a new cat into your house that might have been an outdoor cat or might have been fed raw meat.

When ur pregnant your not supposed to empty smell or be any were near the litter box it say it on the bag if ur pregnant there is a chemical in this bag and in the cats urine that can cause birth defects so it's not just about eating it. And I meant to therapy as a joke but they do need to sit down and talk about it as a married couple for sure

I would dare judge your husband off of this post, it isn't nice.  Just let him know how you felt about him not emptying the litter box and the importance of you not doing it.  The other stuff I would just love to do myself...I'm a hands on gal.

I read on another app that gives you little everyday nuggets, that yes smaller rodents (mice, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters etc) also can carry the same toxin in their waste. Glad I knew that this time around because my daughter had a guinea pig (he just died over the weekend). So I had hubby help her clean the cage every week instead of me. Idk about ferrets though.
