Harmful items for unborn baby
Please advise what could be harmfull to an unborn baby (ex. vitamins, etc). Could UV light be harmful?
GynaeDoc
I cannot really give you a list of everything possible that is harmful in pregnancy. It is best that if you are going to take a particular substance, you check first. If by UV light you mean sunbeds, this does not harm the fetus but can cause excessive pigmentation in pregnancy.
