I think you are much more likely to get toxoplasmosis from just about any other known source than an indoor only cat! I had the test done as I had barn kitties as well as house kitties at the time I was pregnant (& I requested it...). I have also read that if you clean the litter box twice a day then the risk is almost zero as it takes time (over 24 hours after pooping) for the bad stuff to become infectious.
I think US doctors should stop routinely testing for Group B strep like the UK does. The risk is absolutely teeny-tiny when the mother-to-be does not have a fever and the waters aren't broken over 24 hours.
