While some bug sprays contain chemicals that are deemed safe for occasional use, many have ingredients that could potentially affect fetal development. Pregnant individuals should be cautious with exposure to pesticides and chemicals, especially in enclosed spaces. It's advisable to minimize direct exposure, such as avoiding spraying directly onto skin or clothing if possible. If bug spray is necessary to use, consider opting for natural or less harmful alternatives that are specifically marked as safe for use during pregnancy.
