Of course, unless you are drinking it, alcohol based products evaporate within seconds, where as nothing is absorbed into the system.

HI there yes it is. Actually I had the same paranoid behaviour that you have about things like that. But I checked with my midwife and when I went to the hospital for check ups. I had to go to hospital every 2 weeks from when I was only 5 weeks. There was reasons for this which I would preffare not to disscuss over the internet. But it's absolutely fine. Infact it's essentical that you do. Or wash you hands all the time. But it's just as easy to have the little squirty bottle in your handbag. So even when you can't get to the toilets then  you always have this on you. And this is great for when your having those days where you want everything clean. The amount of times that I cleans and washed everything before the baby was due. My husband said I was a nightmare. But you hear of all these horror stories don't you. And I just couldn't help my self. I'm still with my little sweezy bottles dotted all over the house. The kitchen,bathroom,playroom. and everywhere I go. I make olivia my daughter use it aswell. when she goes to nursery!. She's so clever. The lady who takes care of her gives her a pee size on her hands before she has something to eat and after she goes to the toilet....she hates water for some reason...it's a nightmare when you can't get her in the bath every night. she kicks and screams....I think it is because she knows she's going to bed ha ha ha

hope this helps and re asures you that it is perfectly safe for you and your family. Pregnant or not. It doesn't matter. There is no harm to the baby inside you at all. what ever week you are at.

 

All the best if I can help you with anything else get back to me have a nice day!

How Can I Get Rid of a Yeast Infection?

QUESTION Dear Midwife, I have had a yeast infection throughout my entire pregnancy. My doctor has tested me for STD's and all are negative. He has prescribed metro gel to me. I have used this every few months. I am now on my 32 week and am using this prescription every other week. Is there something stronger I can use or something I can change or do differently to help? ANSWER Metrogel will not cure a yeast infection; it's for a bacterial infection and can actually cause a yeast infection. Have you tried Diflucan™ (the yeast pill)? There are also over the counter yeast preparations and a heavy duty vaginal cream (Terazol) that might be appropriate. If all these fail, borax washes help some women and the yeast can be cultured to see what will kill it. Other things you can do for yourself include: Eliminating sugars as much as possible (no soda or juices) Only two fruits and two dairies per day Eating more vegetables and proteins Good luck! -- Cynthia, CNM.
