why are you worried happyathome?

PetitFilou1 · 09/06/2008 13:08

You can buy pitrok in most big Boots or Holland and Barrett (but you have to not mind sweating as it only stops you getting smelly!)

i'm just so paranoid about chemicals and that anything i may eat/use,may make the baby grow 6 heads!!.My 2nd pregnancy,so i shouldn't be so paranoid...no defects with DD.Everything seems so much more worrying with the hormones flying just now and i just want to make sure i do everything right this time.
wondered if anyone else switches to something like Green People,or Pitrok when pregnant....maybe no-ones even thought about it..just sad freaky me?.

I use the Jason tea tree one - it's good and I think you can get it from most health food shops .

HaH I don't use it - am afraid I still use normal deodorant. Both previous dcs have turned out fine though . I have THOUGHT about changing but hate feeling sticky...

Also, if I changed that then I'd also have to change all the moisturisers,shampoos,shower gels etc that I use that have parabens in them as it doesn't feel worth doing unless you change everything. I will get around to it at some point. Sorry but I admit to being one of those women who tried washable nappies and gave up...

thanks for your honesty petitfilous!...you're right...i guess there's a lot we'd have to remove to 'purify' ourselves.I was only thinking about nappies too today...but it does seem like a right faff .
i think my baby will suffer stress symptoms,rather than chemical induced defects!.
.
Good luck with your pregnancy!
