If you have to travel to areas where mosquitoes thrive well, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend to wear clothing that protects the skin, stay indoors during peak mosquito activity are dawn and dusk, and use insect repellent.
"Anti-mosquito lotion containing active ingredients, such as DEET and picaridin, which has been listed on the EPA, are considered safe for pregnant and nursing mothers," the CDC said on its website.
CDC and research studies did not find an association between these materials with birth defects. While doctors say, DEET is generally safe for use during pregnancy.
Even so, be careful to use that often need to be considered. "I usually try options that minimize the potential toxic exposure in pregnant women," Jason James, MD, medical director at Miami FemCare Ob-Gyn told Yahoo Health.
"We must remember that the remains of pesticides and pesticide DEET is definitely toxic," said Matthew Brennecke, a naturopathic doctor at Rocky Mountain Wellness Clinic in Fort Collins, Colorado.
"Although the amount of DEET applied to the lotion mosquito is relatively small, it will create a burden on toxic to the fetus, which may not show any effect at first, but later on can be a part of the accumulation of toxins, either pesticides, heavy metals, and others that can an issue that might be present. "
