There's this website which is quite informative:

Basically I think that repellants are safe if you use them as recommended.

i was told by the doctor that most of them are NOT safe and to get a pregnancy specific one

ive googled and found some natural-based ones with no DEET in but it still doesnt say if theyre safe for use in pregnancy. Ive ordered one and hopefully it will have a phone numbe on the bottle so i can call and find out once it arrives

Autan Family-cream it's a red and with bottle (white with red lid) the only one I've found over here that's suitable. Hope you can buy it easily enough- enjoy your hols
