Filling up car 10 weeks

[Sawa75]

I had no choice but to put petrol.in car today (10 weeks - I have tried to get husband to do it when pregnant). Of course inhaled fumes, wasn't able to get head out of way of it.

Any solid advice before I go down the google hole?

I filled up my own car throughout my pregnancy, didn’t think anything of it. My teens seem just fine. I wouldn’t think about it again. You need to try and live normally while you’re pregnant or you’ll drive yourself mad. ( Ovviously I’d avoid alcohol, smoking, high risk sports etc!)

You will be fine. Not an issue. Get some therapy. That you are thinking about googling this as an issue is a problem

Relax. Pregnant women have been filling up cars for as long as cars have existed.

As long as you don’t drink it then it’s fine.

Solid advice? Don’t drive yourself mad looking for issues where there are none. You will be absolutely fine, your baby will be absolutely fine.

This is not in any way, shape or form an issue or potential issue.

Is that a thing? I mean, it's been years since I had a baby, but never did it enter my head not to fill up the car.
All my offspring are fine BTW!

What on earth are you on about.

Millions of women fill up their cars throughout their whole pregnancy.

You're out in the fresh air, fumes will dissipate quickly.

You really are looking for trouble where it doesn't exist here.

Oh. Parenthood is going to be an arduous journey for you if you keep this nonsense up.

Is this even a thing? I filled up my car as normal during both pregnancies and never thought of doing otherwise. Assuming you didn't stick the nozzle up your nose, I can't see the problem?

This is the first time I've ever heard that this could be an issue. I filled up my own car throughout my last pregnancy and still do now in current pregnancy.

I don't think there's anything to worry about here unless you stuck the nozzle over your nose and took a few deep breaths (or drank it)

You'll.be fine

This is nonsense OP, relax.

Is this a thing now ? I filled my car up throughout both of my pregnancies and didn’t give it a second thought

The smell used to make me very nauseous but that was the extent of the issue. Try not to worry.

What?!

This isn’t a thing. It isn’t a problem.

If this is genuinely the level of things that you are worrying over then you need to speak to someone about your anxiety levels because you’re not going to keep this up until your child is 18 (and beyond).

You didn't inhale fumes.

You could smell fuel while at the fuel station.

Unless you drank it or stuck your nose in the tank and stayed there for a while I reckon you will be fine.

I've had a few kids, always out petrol in my own car and never ever thought this was a problem. Kids are all grown healthy adults

Google needs to come with a health warning, I swear it is partly responsible for the increase in people worrying it always throws up some weird crap.

You have nothing to worry about.

Bloody hell, is this even a thing? I've always filled my own car up even when pregnant. Wouldn't give it a second thought.

I have never given this the slightest bit of thought?

Social media gives new mums/ mums to be so many unnecessary things to worry about 😞

It's not an issue. At all.

Filling up your car is zero issue when pregnant. You will be fine.

Didn't even enter my head not to. 2 kids and pregnant.

...does this also mean I can get away with not cleaning the bathroom because I've been scrubbing my toilet with harpic and I'd rather have until January off if poss 😂

If I tried that one with DH he would tell me to jog on or get the bus. And I would agree.
