Re: Can we use OFF Bug Spray?
I would get the "clean" no scented one. It says nothing on there about not using it when pregnant and I **think** I read that the bug bites were worse than using the spray, but I could be wrong.

Thanks! Any suggestions as to where I can find this? It's late in the season, so I'm thinking it's going to be tough to just go out and pick it up.

Try Avon's Skin So Soft instead of OFF. Much less chemicals.

I use Burt's Bees organic bug repellent (made with oils such as peppermint). I forgot where I got it though!!!

Re: Can we use OFF Bug Spray?

Re: Can we use OFF Bug Spray?
IMO I would never use it... but especially not while you're pregnant.
serious chemicals, and trans-dermal absorption is very efficient. the baby will definitely be exposed 
Just wear very light long sleeved clothing.
alternatively, get the burts bees or some other organic thing....
