We recently shifted and the new place has a bit of a bed bug problem, getting bitten at night. Im 4 months pregnant and now worried if these bites can affect the baby in any way. anyone dealt with this?
I would have panicked over this too honestly, but i checked and bed bugs dont harm the baby. Just be careful with the pest sprays, ask your doctor which are safe to be around. The itching is the worst part na.
Dont spend on fancy stuff in fear. Hot water wash of sheets, sunning the mattress and a proper pest clean usually sorts it. Just stay away from the room during chemical treatment, thats the only real precaution.
Bed bug bites are itchy and annoying but they dont harm the baby directly. The bigger worry is you scratching and getting an infection, or losing sleep. Get the house treated and use safe measures, ask doc before any spray near you.
Relax, those bites cant reach your baby. They are a nuisance more than a danger. Wash bedding in hot water, sun the mattress, and if you need pest control done, keep yourself out of the room while they spray.
