Pregnant and working
Pregnant and on a farm
Flamingo
Are there any other pregnant women here who regularly visit a farm? And what exactly is allowed or not allowed?
I go to a farm 4-5 days a week, actually. Both a dairy farm and a sheep farm where we're in the lambing shed almost all year round.....
Ever since I knew I was pregnant, I've been doing all the work with gloves, but what else do I need to be careful about?

We have a farm. I never really thought about it and just did everything. It's just that if you work with pigs and veal calves and you need surgery, you have to get a test done. But otherwise, I don't think so. If I were really worried, I'd ask the VK (Verloskundigen) who would know for sure. -

Well, I asked both the midwife and the gynecologist, and neither of them really knows for sure... -

That's weird that they don't know that.
Just follow your gut feeling if you don't feel comfortable with certain tasks, and you can outsource them to someone else. That's what I'd do.
