| Household Cleaners and Birth Defects
Ladies,
I need your help. I am 36 weeks pregnant and have recently found out that I should have been wearing rubber gloves when using household cleaners for the counters, floors, sinks and tubs. Before I was pregnant I NEVER did, so it did not occur to me that it may be dangerous for my baby. I heard that if the chemicals are absorbed into your skin it can cause bith defects in the baby. Has anybody else cleaned their house using cleaners like Clorox without gloves while they were pregnant, and was your baby OK? |
