is anyone elses allergies getting worse now that you are pregnant? i use to have a very mild allergy to cats and now i cant even touch my nieces cat without sneezing or having my eyes swell. if it was up to me we would get rid of her since my niece doesnt even take care of her and we have to get on her case to clean the litter box and clean up after her own cat. its pointless to have an animal if you are not going to take care of it.
