Toxic advice tells mums-to-be to ditch all but the kitchen sink

Pregnant women should avoid deodorant, moisturising, painting their toenails, and using chemical-based cleaning products in their homes.

Neither should they willingly wash their hair with chemical-based shampoos, eat tinned foods, or carry their packed lunch in a Tupperware box.

Their non-stick frying pans should be put in storage and takeaway pizza or Chinese menus binned.
