Worried sick- used cif cream on warmstove (4 weeks pregnant)

[Sweetpea888]

Hi. My first post here and looking for some reassurance as I am worried sick!!! I stupidly used cif cream on a warm stove to clean without gloves (but with kitchen rolls) when I just found out I am pregnant. So so stupid!! The smell was strong but windows were open and ventilation was on. It was for a minute or so..have I done harm to my baby??? Worried sick!!!!

I can understand you are newly pregnant & anxious, but I'm not sure what about?
Do you think the smell might harm your baby? It won't, don't worry.

Don't give it another thought....it won't have done any harm at all....

Oh I craved the smell of Cif cream (along with other lemony cleaning products) when I was pregnant with dc1, the house sparkled. She's a seemingly well adjusted teenager now. She does have an unusual likening for cleaning though just not her bedroom

I cleaned other peoples’ house throughout my pregnancy (well until I could no longer actually reach the bottom of a bath at 8 months). Breathed in far more cleaning product fumes than I’d have liked (obviously not on purpose) but DD is now 9 years old and fine.

Thank you so much for the responses 🙏 I guess I was over reacting because I read somewhere that Cif has got harmful substances (like oven cleaners) and then I inhaled it! I feel much better now. Thanks again x

Think of how many people drink, smoke, eat all sorts etc while not knowing they’re 4 weeks pregnant - you and they will be fine!

Im 30 weeks pregnant and have been using cif cream to clean regularly.
As long as you're not mixing different products together u shud be ok

You’ll be inhaling far worse just by stepping out the house each day, with road pollution etc!

Hi hope everything was ok and baby is well.

I used Cif Perfect Finish Oven & Gril Grease Removal Spray on my hob and oven door. Didn’t use gloves and im 10 weeks pregnant. So nervous.

At 4 weeks baby isn't even linked to your circulation, so no harm done.
