Can an unkept house make you sick?

Now that I am pregnant (for the first time), it is really hard for me to keep my house as clean and sanitized like normal. I try to get my boyfriend to help, but he is the type of person who tried to wash two loads worth of clothes with a half of cup of detergent! I love him though. Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone has every heard of an unkept house making them sick?
Answer:
yes mold and bacteria can reak hell on your health and an be dangerous for your baby disinfect surfaces with something like lysol spray i would say bleach but the fumes arent good for you and if your worried about it get a good air sanitizer cleaner for the room

Yes, you need to disinfect surfaces because if you don't bacteria can spread and cause you to get ill. And a dirty house can cause allergies and it's not good for you or your family.

well it depends on how unkept it is. like if theres mold and bugs (ie ants, roches) it is not a safe place to live. but i'm sure that if it's just clutter and what not, it would drive you crazy, but not make you sick. hope that helps

No, bacteria is good for your body, there is good bacteria that you breathe in and it strengthens your immune system. If you disinfect your entire house, you will get allergic to bacteria because u always clean it off your house. Dr. Manny Alveraz is a very good doctor, he has books that talk about this.
