A member asked:

I have poison ivy but i'm pregnant. what about my baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Relax: Your baby is floating in a protected environment. This includes the several layers of fetal membranes and fluid.Nothing can reach baby unless it comes through your blood. No irritation on your skin surface, or the creams you may use to treat it would effect your baby.
