Going near ducks in pregnancy??

[Babyfairy1984]

Can anyone help? Are pregnant ladies allowed near ducks? Staying at my aunties who keeps them and me and OH looking after them.

I don't think ducks should pose any problems to your pregnancy. You don't really need to touch them to take care of them, and if you're still concerned I'd say just wash your hands. Also you could talk to your doctor if its still a huge concern. I wouldn't worry about it though.

Thankyou. I didn't even think about it before and we are here now. I will def wash my hands after feeding them etc.

i've never heard of ducks posing any danger during pregnancy

I think of it this way, hundreds of years ago pregnant women did farming and took care of all sorts of animals, and still had healthy happy children. Just wash your hands and everything should be fine.
