Infections and risk during pregnancy


Be especially vigilant with hygiene when you are considering pregnancy, this will allow you to prevent most risk of infection. Some infections are mild for pregnant women, but others may have serious consequences for the mother (toxoplasmosis and listeriosis)...

During pregnancy: Wash hands often

    With soap if possible and by brushing your nails, especially after using the toilet, after child care, after gardening or touching objects contaminated with soil or sand, after touching an animal.
    Avoid changing your own cat litter (to change daily ideally). If you do, wear gloves and wash your hands afterwards.
    After handling raw food (meat and poultry, eggs, vegetables), wash your hands properly and thoroughly clean the work surface and utensils.
