Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

Carmex is not known to have any adverse effects on a baby when used by pregnant females.
At present there are no medical studies indicating that it has any adverse effects when used during this time.

If you remain unsure then you can consider consulting your obstetrician.

I hope this helps
