Bouquets!

[Nwmama12]

Did any of you create your own bouquets during pregnancy? Like buying store flowers and arranging them yourself for home?

I started to worry about the pesticides I had touched while doing so. Apparently they are covered in them especially the ones from Colombia (which is many) TIA I’m stressed!

It's going to be a long 9 months if you're worrying about this ...

Also, could just stop having hand-tied bouquets for a few months...

No i was gifted flowers for both pregnancies from DH and DM when i was in 1st Trimester and P/P. From the UK so maybe different.

What?

I put flowers in vases, if that counts…?

Never heard of issues relating to this - but OP this is a UK based site so rules may be different re: chemical use.

This literally wouldn’t have crossed my mind.

If you are UK, OP, perhaps a gentle chat with midwife around anxiety could help

Eh?

Comments are appreciated and fair! when I saw mine were in fact from Columbia after I handled them a ton with no gloves I wanted to check. And it didn’t sound good, they do get heavily sprayed with a lot of chemicals. So I was wanting to hear from others. I won’t be doing it again definitely not worth a risk for me but glad to know others think it’s a non issue.

MidnightPatrol and MixedBananas thanks for your experiences. If I hadn’t handled them for so long and so much it wouldn’t have come to mind for me either so I wouldn’t have stressed personally for just vasing them. But, still helps to hear!
