I would avoid paint and flea shampoo for sure. I suppose if the cleaning product was something mild, like Comet or Windex, it should be OK... I wouldn't go around using Lime-Away though! lol.

You should avoid all that you listed and many more. Any cleaning chemical should be avoided unless it specifically states it's safe to use while pregnant.
Animal products should also be avoided but i don't think it would harm anything, just use a light scented kind and you should be okay.
Paints or any painting chemicals should definately not be used, if they have to be used in the home, i would say leave for up to 12 to 24 hours and ventilate the fumes as well as you can and while the products are being used.

Painting my doctor said was a no-no. Told me to leave the house and let my hubby do it. Cleaning products I pretty much couldn't avoid. (If I didn't clean no one else probably would!). Not sure about flea-shampoo. If there is a 1-800# on the bottle I would call it first and they may be able to tell you if it's recommended or not. Hair dye is a no-no as well as pumping gas. Pretty much stear clear of anything with strong fumes. I found alot of scents bothered me when I was pregnant. Such as nail polish, cleaning products, perfumes,soaps, cooking meat (LOL), etc. Use your own common sense and I'm sure you'll be fine!

You should avoid dangerous chemicals that could harm you are your baby. Paint is really not healthy for you to inhale during your pregnancy. Dog shampoo want hurt you but inhale to much could be harmful some cleaning products are harmful.

Flea shampoo is fine....just dont ingest it. i was a dog groomer while being pregnant. MAKE SURE you do not touch littler boxes. And avoit cats all together. Their feces containg a harmful bacteria which can cause Toxoplasmosis. That can seriously harm a fetus. Best of luck to you.

You can use just about anything you want BUT if it has a strong smell you should open a window or wear a mask.
Don't clean up any dog urine or feces as well as a cat.
Your dogs shampoo is fine!

ask your doctor for more deatils but you should avoid inhaling anything with toxic chemical fumes like paint, nail polish, some adhesives, and cleaning products.
also avoid any direct contact with cat liter, dirty or clean, it contains a chemical that could be hazardous to a fetus, specially dirty cat liter because of the amonia.
avoid dying or bleaching your hair, your hair will not take to haircolor the same while you are pregnant. inhaling these chemicals or even coming into direct contact with them could be very hazardous to the fetus, this also because of amonia.
