Does Excessive Inhalation Of Rubbing Alcohol Cause Harm During Pregnancy?
I m currently pregnant, and although I ve always liked the smell of rubbing alcohol, I like it even more now. So much that I find myself going to my bathroom just to open the bottle & smell it. Probably 6-8 tomes a day for about 15 seconds at a time. It actually relaxes me. Is it harmful to my baby?

Hello,
You have to avoid alcohol of any forms. Alcohol is absorbed in the lung and reaches the baby. It might lead to potential complications like fetal alcohol syndrome.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
