Baby okay: Washing hands excessively will not do any harm to your unborn baby. You may wish to use hand lotion every time you wash your hands to keep the skin from getting too dry.

Don't fret.: It will be alright. Be kind to your hands. Use a gentle soap. Use a moisturizer so that your skin doesn't dry out so much and crack. Congratulations. Be well.
