Is It Safe for Pregnant Women to Use Perfume?
MOST pregnant women worry about the security of the various products that they use before pregnancy occurs. The condition of pregnancy that are vulnerable to the expectant mother feel the need to repeatedly make sure, whether what they consume will adversely affect to the baby or not. These of course include the use of perfume.
So, can the prospective mother continue to use the perfume during pregnancy?
Obstetricians Jennifer Ashton said that pregnant women should not be too concerned about the use of perfumes that are usually only used in small amounts.
“Unless you regularly bathe in synthetic fragrances, you may need to worry,” she said, as reported by Sheknows.
Influence of the use of fragrance is actually more to the sensitivity of pregnant women to odors. Some pregnant women have more sensitivity to odor, especially during the first three months of pregnancy, when battling morning sickness (morning sickness). If this condition occurs, then your use of fragrances should be suspended until the period or the morning sickness can be exceeded. In addition, you can also try natural or organic perfume to further ensure safety.
So, do not worry about using perfume anymore, especially if the fragrance of the perfume is something you really like.
