Metro.uk.com News - Perfumes linked to infertility
I always wondered about this. When I got pregnant with the Monster Baby I stopped using perfume, deodorant, skin creams, etc for well over the first trimester. I figured that it might make a difference. After a while, I felt gross and started again. This time around, I used the same stuff as always everyday. Another healthy baby. As far as we know.
I think this may be about giving women who miscarry some control over what happens to them, even if it isn't effective. If that's the case, it's not a bad thing. Miscarriage takes away all of a woman's control over her life and her body, leaving her to play a cruel game of wait and see. If stopping using certain products lets them feel as though they are doing something proactive, then I say go for it.
