I'm 5 months pregnant and was going to take my mum to visit a safari park, is this wise or can any animal poo etc be of danger to me? I know you are meant to avoid lambs when pregnant but anything else too?

I wouldn't think there was any danger Im sure there would be danger sign's if there was. I visited a safari park whilst 3 months pregnant and no harm came to me or my baby. It's your car you should be worried about the monkeys broke my number plate off lol!

I think your being a little over the top here, First your in a car going around the park so how will you come into contact with animal feces? and secondly when you come to park up and walk around the rides and shops etc, I'm sure you wont think twice about going on any rides? .This would be a lovely day out for you and the fresh air and exercise is good for you.

you have to be very careful but cant see a problem as long as you always wash your hands etc and dont go touching any of the animals....I took my daughter to a animal park and was 8 months pregnant and forgot all about the risks and I went around touching all the animals but current little bundle turned out just fine, just be aware and wash wash wash.

Cat and dog poo is the dangerous one-Parvo's Virus, found in faeces in parks and recreation grounds, can cause foetal blindness.
In a safari park, you will probably be safer than in your local rec.

In a safari park, you have to stay in your car - so unless you want reach out and collect 'poo', then you're safe.

i dont think there is any danger as you spend most of the time in your car but just to be on the safe side have a word with your midwife

You will be fine, just don't touch the animals and keep washing your hands. Have a great day out!!
