Damage to Fetus Can Happen in Early Pregnancy \n\nCommon lawn care products can cause developmental problems in early pregnancy -- just days after conception, new research shows. \n\nExposure to newly treated lawns and golf courses -- before the recommended waiting period is over -- could harm the developing embryo, researchers say. Weed-B-Gon, Scott's 4XD, and Atrazine are just three products found to cause harm. \n\n'Even extremely low concentrations of these pesticides -- concentrations thought to not cause any harm if the person ingests it -- could interfere with both conception and an embryo's implantation in the uterusStudies have detected these pesticides in human ovarian fluid, fluid from semen, human amniotic fluid, and even in fluids that surround the human newborn,  In a previous two-year study, Greenlee investigated effects of pesticides and fungicides in women who mix and apply these chemicals. She found that women doing this kind of work were 27 times more likely to have fertility problems compared with pregnant women who didn't work with these chemicals.Pyrethrums are chrysanthemum-derived insecticides found in antilice treatments. They do not appear to have significant toxicity, but they have not been well studied in humans. \n\nArbuckle and Sever reviewed epidemiological studies of numerous individual pesticides and pesticide combinations. Overall, their review involved hundreds of thousands of individuals. Their data suggest an increased risk of fetal death associated with pesticides in general and with maternal employment in agricultural industries.

It seems that Navidoxine contains Meclizine....\nNavidoxine\nGastrointestinal System > Antiemetics and Antinauseant\nContents: Tablets: Meclizine 2HCl 25mg, vit B6 50mg. http://www.pakmedinet.com/trade.php?id=163\nMeclizine is in the FDA pregnancy category B. This means that it is not expected to harm an unborn baby. Do not take meclizine without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant.  http://www.drugs.com/meclizine.html\n\nIf your OB/GYN prescribed this medication, it is probably safe.  Your OB obviously knows you are pregnant.  You can always reassure yourself by talking to your doctor about your concerns...

As there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Because of the known effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the fetal cardiovascular system (closure of ductus arteriosus), use during late pregnancy should be avoided.

The ring worm won't hurt your health or your unborn child.  It's more a nuisance disease more than anything.  I am worried there is a new cat in your home while your pregnant.  They may carry a parasite called toxoplasmosis.  I would atleast have someone else change the litter box.  Ideally, keep those cats away from your home.

Depends entirely on the pesticide and in what situation the pesticide is being used.\n\nA broad-spectrum insecticide applied to an open field will have an effect on all of the insects, including beneficial insects such as bees, dragonflies, lacewings, and ladybird beetles in the field, in addition to whatever pests you were originally aiming at.\n\nThe same insecticide applied to a lake to kill mosquitoes would kill dragonfly larvae, fish, diving beetles, and frogs, but probably wouldn't kill any mosquitoes, since the predators would have taken care of them (assuming you hadn't already killed them with a previous pesticide application).\n\nThat same insecticide applied to a small, temporary pond that formed in a field after a rainfall would kill mosquito larvae, as well as some midge larvae, copepods and perhaps some snails, but nothing else as few other creatures are able to exploit that habitat.\n\nProper use of pesticides, even ones normally considered 'hard' chemicals, can be done in such a way that they have little impact on non-target populations.  Improper use of pesticides, even 'soft' chemicals, can kill wide numbers and varieties of non-target organisms, and can even make the pest situation worse if it kills off less numerous predators, and the pests are able to rebound faster.

Do not take any homeopathic or over the counter meds or supplements except a basic vitamin pill without checking with your doctor first!\n\nTiny amounts of substances that are fine for us can create horrific birth defects or organ damage in a 2 week old fetus.\n\nYou'd never forgive yourself if your baby was born deformed or with a health problem.

Health effects\nThe major concern is that there are many sensitive land uses where people are in direct contact with soils such as residences, parks, schools and playgrounds. Other contact mechanisms include contamination of drinking water or inhalation of soil contaminants which have vaporized. There is a very large set of health consequences from exposure to soil contamination depending on pollutant type, pathway of attack and vulnerability of the exposed population. Chromium and many of the pesticide and herbicide formulations are carcinogenic to all populations. Lead is especially hazardous to young children, in which group there is a high risk of developmental damage to the brain and nervous system, while to all populations kidney damage is a risk.\n\nChronic exposure to benzene at sufficient concentrations is known to be associated with higher incidence of leukemia. Mercury and cyclodienes are known to induce higher incidences of kidney damage, some irreversible. PCBs and cyclodienes are linked to liver toxicity. Organophosphates and carbamates can induce a chain of responses leading to neuromuscular blockage. Many chlorinated solvents induce liver changes, kidney changes and depression of the central nervous system. There is an entire spectrum of further health effects such as headache, nausea, fatigue, eye irritation and skin rash for the above cited and other chemicals. Clearly at sufficient dosages a large number of soil contaminants cause death.

Reproduction studies done on rats have shown risks to the foetus. Controlled studies on humans during pregnancy are not available. For this reason, the use of VIRLIX Tablets and VIRLIX Oral Solution should be avoided during pregnancy. \nFDA Pregnancy Category B.

If proper neonatal care applied upon delivery, your child will almost have a good health.\n\nPre-term birth has a serious impact on child if not properly cared e.g.: Respiratory distress syndrom, and cerebral hemorrhage.

Uh... my baby had jaundice for a couple of days after she was born.  They put her on a biliblanket.  Her bilirubin was very high and the UV light broke it down for her.\n\nHope this helped.

Just regular Tylenol (not Extra-Strength) is OK to take during pregnancy.  Advil is not good because it thins out your blood and can cause bleeding.  You might want to ask your doctor about using Oragel, as another answerer suggested, as sometimes topical agents pass through the placenta after it is absorbed by your body.

Take her to the doctor asap. I was swarmed by fireants at a young age and the same thing happened to me...high fever, vomiting, etc. I was poisoned. I ended up being admitted to the hospital overnight. I wish I could give you more details, but I was so young, all I remember is how sick it made me and how bad it hurt. It can be a big deal, so, please, get your baby looked at! Good luck and I am so sorry for you and that little punkin!!!!

The less you do doing the pregnancy the better.  I know coloring hari introduces heavy metals (lead for black, copper for brown) into the women's blood stream about 45 minutes after the treatment.  I am not sure about the bleaching, but better be safe I'd say...

pesticides are not good for the human body, they are chemicals.

MRSA is relatively aggressive but if there were any danger to your unborn baby I would hope your dr. would suggest antibiotic therapy for you.  Ask your doctor.  I don't think under normal circumstances it can harm an unborn unless it is affecting mom somehow.
