A member asked:

I used alcohol diluted with water, baking soda and oil as a deodorant for armpits, it safe while pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: This can deodorize the skin but none will be absorbed into your bloodstream nor will it pass across the placenta. You can continue to use this mixture throughout your pregnancy.

Dr Foster and another doctor agreed
