Fabric Dye While Pregnant

[Cheezels]

Help!!!! I am very scared, I found out I am nearly 2 months pregnant and have been using fabric dye for the last couple of months without wearing gloves. I can not find anything on the web about it and I am so very scared now what I may have done to baby. Does anyone know any info about this? I am so very worried! :-(

I don't have an answer for you, sorry. Just ing in case someone else can help.


Congratulations for your pregnancy, I hope it is a happy and healthy one.

What type of fabric dye?

I don't really know anything about fabric dyes but my best guess would probably be that there's not going to be much evidence because no company would bother to test their dye on pregnant women.

I hope you have a healthy pregnancy and someone more knowledgeable than me can put your mind at ease.

It's Dylon hand wash fabric dye. And of course it says on the back to wear gloves but I just didn't even read it or think about it. I just dipped my hands in numerous times each time I dyed something. :-( If it's that bad for people who aren't pregnant, how bad can it be for someone who is?

I've always been under the impression that most of the glove precautions were just to prevent eczema and skin rashes. I doubt very much would be absorbed through the skin from that sort of contact.
