Cleaning products and birth defect- Help

Hello,

I just learned that I am pregnant. But just last week without knowing I was pregnant, we put our house on sale and I did massive house cleaning. I used several cleaning products including glass cleaner, CLR, Mr.Clean all purpose cleaner, bleach powder and bleach liquid without using gloves for 2 consecutive days. Most of these were pumps and not aerosol sprays. I was continually using them, so would believe I would have had atleast 8 hours of exposure though whiffs, and through the skin.

I believe I would have been 9 days pregnant while doing this cleaning. Everywhere I read, it says cleaning products cause birth defects. Now I am paranoid that I may have caused my baby a big harm. Pl let me know how I would have been affected.

This is a question best answered by an md.  But iwill give you some words...many women do things before a pregnancy is discovered.  Most times, the body is superb at filtering out toxins...it is very protective of a developing fetus

My guess is that your MD will tell you not to worry, but he/she should be the one to judge your risk and answer this question.

Congrats on the pregnancy!  Good luck, and add a pregnancy tracker here if you haven't already!
