    Do the ultrasounds emitted by the plug in pest repellants effect a baby in pregnancy? We've just started using one here and junior seems to be moving about, maybe a coincidence, but just wondering if anyone knows about it?

    Nothing's coming up on google.

    I had to attend a wedding abroad last July and was told by my GP that getting bitten by a mosquito was far more dangerous than any potential side affects from the creams but ask your pharmacist to recommend one as some of them are not recommended in pregnancy, haven't a clue what one i ended up using it was a white & cream tube AFAIK, as for the plug ins we used one of them in the room at night but as I was only about 4 months at the time I wouldn't have noticed a difference in kicking activity anyway
    Sorry I can't be more help! :(
