Should you stay away from your pets during pregnancy? Ira Trivedi answers.

Most of the pregnant women would get this one piece of advice from people: stay away from your pet! No matter whether you are too close to your pets, even the pregnant lady would have a second thought: Should I? Clearing this concern, we have Ira Trivedi, author and yoga expert, shedding light on this years-old debate.

"Most people advise a pregnant lady to stay away from their pets during pregnancy. They say it out of health concerns. But, for me, it was the opposite; having my pet, Miya, helped me a lot during my pregnancy journey. During pregnancy, most ladies go through many hormonal changes, but for me, having my pet near me, playing with her, cuddling her, and all makes me happier," she shares in an exclusive chat with ETimes.
