It’s muggy and buggy outside. Seems there are just as many mosquitos as there are people. Insects carry serious diseases such as malaria, Lyme disease, West Nile, and Zika. Getting these diseases is not good for mothers to be or their babies, so it is important to prevent insect bites. Not all sprays repel all insects, so it is important that pregnant women read the labels. Also, apply sunscreen first. MotherToBaby has the lowdown on which insect repellents are safest and most effective.
