Deodorants and breast cancer investigated

Painkillers in pregnancy

by Pat Thomas
continued from page 1
Finally, don’t underestimate the link between headaches and your environment. A recent University of Bristol study involving 14,000 women revealed that pregnant women who constantly use aerosol products such as air fresheners, deodorants, furniture polishes and hairsprays have significantly higher rates of headaches and post-natal depression than women who use these products less than once a week.

For the majority of pregnant women rest, relaxation and simple self-help measures are the keys to relieving headache pain. However, if you are experiencing severe, persistent headaches always consult you GP or midwife so that they can rule out any underlying problems.
