Your husband is not wrong, Amanda. Generally, this is associated with outdoor cats and the concern that is raised is about a parasite called Toxoplasmosis. There is a test that an OB can do to determine if you have had past exposure to this parasite as the concern is really associated with new exposures.

Diane, yes, of course, however, be sure to place a towel or cloth between your skin and the heating pad to avoid burn injury.
