It can even protect the fetus from many poisons (of course, the death of the mother causes significant complications, unfortunately).<br /><br />You're probably okay with makeup and nail polish and shampoo and the like. Just don't go experimenting with strychnine or anything like that.Mcglkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17945120720119333030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7213314215901270194.post-4733268041136136252010-09-02T14:31:35.456-04:002010-09-02T14:31:35.456-04:00See and that's my problem with alot of these &...See and that's my problem with alot of these "go green" type people. I do try to use natural products, I mean I have my own bath stuff company just FOR that reason, BUT just because I like to wear Chanel no 5 perfume doesn't mean my kids are going to be brain damaged. (I don't, by the way, wear that it just happened to pop into my brain LOL) I think if I had another one, I would try cloth diapering just because it IS so EASY these days and everyone I know who is doing it loves it. If you want to make your own laundry soap, I have a recipe for that too. The only reason i dont use it right now is because it really doesn't get the stains out so then I use a pre treater and then what's the point? So I buy the "green" detergent from CostCo when I can and substitue with the "free and clear" stuff in between.<br />I have a problem with books that tell you all the DON'Ts in pregnancy when there is enough to be afraid of as it is. I mean, as long as you follow the big rules (don't smoke, drink, drug etc) chances are your baby will be fine. The problem I have with these extremests is they act like every little thing is a toxin, but then they get in their SUVs and drive everywhere and allow their children to breathe the air. The AIR is more toxic these days than alot of things they ingest that MIGHT transfer to the kid!<br /><br />Stepping off my soapbox now LOLEvenoreply@blogger.com
