Suggest a chat with female vets - they will be very up on all the risks but not just lambing time I'm afraid (and defo NO Clothes washing). Be wary with meds.

Congrats by the way from another geriatric mother (elderly prima gravida). Life changing in all the best possible ways!

In fact, it's not just contact with sheep that can be dangerous during pregnancy - it has been proven that use of a vacuum cleaner. iron, washing up liquid, dusters and furniture polish is also dangerous

Ask the doctor, I can't mind now but I'm sure chlamydia is the risk, so no lambing Etc Our doc was very knowledgable but did presume I had competent help available. Congrats

As is trailing round the supermarket filling a trolley with food, having any contact with hot cookers or filling vehicles with fuel

I wouldn't be so sure about doctors. I met a woman who had been very very ill, including hospitalisation for almost a year. It was her vet who diagnosed it! Weils Disease.
