Can I Use Hand Sanitizer While Pregnant

Kewkel asked 9 25 07 answer this question.

Can i use hand sanitizer while pregnant. I try to use soap and water when possible but there are at least 3 to 5 occasions during the day when i dab on hand sanitizer to be on the safe side. Of a hand wash that is obviously better than hand sanitizer and only take a few seconds more to do. I thought i had pink eye today and had to go somewhere and so i was using my germ x very often over a short time frame because i was so afraid i was going to somehow spread my possible case of pink eye.

The child should be strictly supervised while using hand sanitizer. You should use only a pea. We have a nasty bug floating around our office.

I m 34 weeks pregnant on monday and have an odd question i use a lot of hand sanitizer i mean i m always putting on the germ x or just washing my hands in general. We suggest therefore that if an additional risk reduction is desired by pregnant health care workers work practices should be modified to allow the use of soap and water as a substitute for the alcohol based hand sanitizer. A pregnant woman and her hand sanitizer are like two peas in a pod.

Do you think. I m only 7 weeks but i clean houses for a living and i have two large dogs so i use a decent amount of hand sanitizer daily is that ok. Miracle09baby answered 10.

If there are toddlers and older children at home strictly supervise the use of hand sanitizer and see to it that they do not use it frequently. Is it safe for a pregnant woman to use hand sanitzier during pregnancy if the hand sanitizer contains ethyl alcohol answered by a verified ob gyn doctor. After applying hand sanitizer rub the hands of the baby vigorously until the sanitizer totally evaporates.

There s nothing like carrying the future in your belly to make you a total germaphobe.
