If you are pregnant, or know someone who is pregnant, there are certain substances that should be avoided, especially during the first trimester to protect that growing brain inside of you. Including, but not limited to: certain cosmetics, cleaning agents and medicines, NSAIDs, even the PVC in flooring and some children's toys.
Expectant mothers in their first trimester should avoid certain cosmetics, cleaning agents and medicines, to protect the developing fetal brain from chemicals that can trigger autism, health researchers advise.

This is very important, though I do not know anyone that is pregnant.
The little fetus inside can absorb so much toxins.
