Is it safe?

Question

I’m reading a lot on how certain shower gels and body lotions aren’t safe during pregnancy and that I should switch to organic things, is this true? Did any of you continue to use regular body wash and the same body lotion? Did your baby turn out ok? Someone please help I’m kind of concerned now. I’m almost 6 weeks pregnant and I don’t want something bad to happen because I didn’t know if I was supposed to get all organic produce or not.

Answer

Oh lord. Really I never switched a single thing I used. Shampoo, conditioner, lotion, body wash, perfumes, foundation etc. There’s no need to me. We’re not eating any of the stuff, how does it go in our blood... I’ve always wondered. Also just because things say organic doesn’t mean it’s better 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ Don’t stress over stuff. I know My kids are perfectly fine. There’s tons of others who never switched and kids are fine lol.

Answer

You can use your old lotions and soaps. There is no need to get organic. Baby is perfectly healthy. If you wanna drop the extra money on organic go ahead but there is no use. All I did was get less fragrant soaps because my skin got sensitive.

Answer

First pregnancy I switched to a natural deodorant out of worry.  This pregnancy I stuck to the same chemical-filled Secret I was using before, but only because I tried the natural stuff again and I STUNK. 🤣

Answer

Theres always going to be controversy on what's safe and what's not safe for pregnant women. I stuck with my usual producrs and everything is fine.

Answer

The main things you want to drop are Face washes and lotions with benzoyl peroxide salicylic acid, and anything with retinol/vit a. This is because these can get to baby and cause births defects and your skin is more sensitive during pregnancy. 
Vitamin c cream is fine tho, I avoided perfumes for the first trimester because I read they can influence your hormones. I switched to an essential oil lavender body spray in the beginning. Later I continued using my perfume but only on special occasions.

Answer

Never switched a thing except my face wash. I'm allergic to benzoyl peroxide so I have to use salicylic acid products only but it has to be less than 2%. I just got a charcoal face scrub and called it a day. With my first pregnancy I only switched body washes because I was so itchy the scents irritated me more.
