There is an overwhelmingly long list of what not to eat, use, or be around while trying to conceive and in early pregnancy. Knowing which products are safer — and which you should limit or avoid when pregnant — is challenging.

We know that toxins can be harmful, but what exactly is in the products you're using? The ingredients are confusing. The marketing is confusing. What if someone were already researching pregnancy-safe products? Well, have we got good news for you….
