Is Spraying Raid During Pregnancy Safe?

Hi, I am 37 weeks pregnant and have found a TON of ants in the corner of our living room. Yesterday I went and bought RAID spray and have been spraying it on them (with windows/doors open and fans on). Do you think that is ok? or should I not use it at all?

Since the windows were open and the fans were on, the chances of intoxication and suffocation are much less. However, in future, please avoid such heroic attempts and playing with the poisons. It may harm your foetus also. Just report to your obstetrician to confirm that no untoward effect has taken place. You might have to undergo scan to find out the blood supply to the foetus and condition of placenta.
