I would not use it. Here are some links that might be helpful.

It's insect season! I just moved down to South Carolina to be with my fiancé until he is discharged from the Navy sometime this summer. I moved from NC and didn't expect too big of a change in the amount of bugs... boy was I in for a surprise. It's only May & I can't seem to spend a minute outdoors without a full fledged mosquito attack. I've been using this Deep Woods repellent that we already had but both my fiancé and I are concerned about whether its safe during pregnancy since it contains the pesticide DEET. Does anyone know of safe, but effective alternatives?
