Does Clorox Wipes, Disinfectant Sprays Affects During Pregnancy?
I'm 31 weeks pregnant with twins and I work as a nurse in a small hospital that uses a lot of Clorox wipes and sprays to disinfect. I actually enjoy the scent and even crave it until I end up feeling lightheaded. Is craving the scent some sort of Pica and is being exposed to the fumes harming my twins?

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You should avoid these type of disinfected fumes during pregnancy because they are harmful for your baby also.
So please avoid it because they may lead to premature labor pain and delivery also.
Good luck.
