When I clean a bathroom with the window open, is it safe when I inhale the chemical smell? I cleaned the batheroom the other day and got this awful headache and I don't see the doctor until next week. I just want to know if cleaning with different chemicals is safe while pregnant.:confused:

For the most part, pregnant women must be exposed to a large amount of chemicals for a prolonged period for them to be harmful to baby. When I got a headache I use a little too much. Be cautious and use as little as possible always with the window open, but talk to your doctor as plan. I'ld stay away from it as much as possible because fumes are not good to inhale.

Well a lot of chemicals shouldn't be inhaled, especially while pregnant, I am not sure if its not safe but I would make sure you air the area out very well while cleaning. (With the window open and maybe a fan)

Avoid as much as possible, consider switching to a less potent cleaner... there are several "natural" based ones or make your own (of course, use as little as possible in a well ventilated area as well even with natural cleaners)... might be the perfect excuse to give someone else the job... :)

Pregnant or not they are bad to smell. Some people claim they can cause Alzheimer's
