Fruit and pesticides
Hi all, first time mum here and still very early in pregnancy (found out a week ago, estimated 5 weeks today). I have a History of anxiety and this is leading to some anxious tendencies around food and chemicals and things now that I am pregnant as I’m worried about accidentally ingesting or inhaling something that will lead to losing the baby. Living in the UK.
I know that oranges are good for pregnancy but every pack I’ve picked up so far says that the oranges are treated with a pesticide called ‘Imazlil’, which online says is bad for baby. Has anyone come across any without this/ can anyone reassure me that it’s just on the surface which can be washed off/ will be removed when I remove the skin.
Sorry I’m aware it’s probably a stupid question I’m just anxious about making sure I’m eating the right things and not hurting baby.
