Im pregnant and we have a monthly outdoor perimeter spray for bugs and i usually close windows before they come and i didnt this time and we came home 3 hours later. do you think it was harmful to baby if any came through window?

Insecticides: it would depend how much the mother breathed in and how much got to her bloodstream. It is likely that the concentration in the air would be low several hours after spraying. Your baby is likely fine, but you are right in wanting to reduce unnecessary chemical and pesticide exposure. The risks must be weighed against the advantages of spraying for bugs. Good luck!
