hi guys,
so Im just about curious/worried, I went to use the grill in the oven, the grill hasn't been used for a long time I think but the oven has, when I turned it on there was this vile burning smell with smoke I think it was cleaning out from not being used but it was so strong my nose ended up hurting as if I was having a nosebleed, can this affect my unborn baby in anyway!?

I think the smell/smoke you describe is from something splashing or spitting onto the grill and then when you re light it it produces a strong smell with smoke, mine does it all the time. It will be absolutist fine I'm sure, it's never done me any harm x

I can sympathise with the worry, I worry over inhaling stuff and it damaging the baby! It's hard not to worry really xxxx

Risks from fumes tend to be women who work in an environment like that or live there. One-off exposure of a few minutes won't do any harm - they wouldn't be things you'd find in your house if they could cause defects with a couple of breaths.

My taste/breathing got more sensitive when I was about 6 weeks, also nosebleeds and nose pain is a common symptom, could be your body reacting when it wouldn't normally but don't worry.

Happened to me in both my pregnancies.

My whole house was full of smoke when I was PG with DS1, it took hours to clear it.

Same happened with DS2; bent down to open the oven door cue a huge smoke cloud engulfing my face.

Both DS's are here safe and healthy.

I know how worrying it can be but it won't harm baby at all Thanks
