When you are pregnant you need to be aware of what kind of products you use on your body, the clothes you wear, the air you breathe, the food you eat and the water you drink. This is because toxins in the environment can affect the health of the foetus. 
A lot of what we put on our skin is absorbed directly into the blood stream and many chemicals can pass through the placenta and the blood-brain barrier. Pesticides, chemicals, dyes, plastics, phthalates, and other toxins found in conventional maternity products can effect hormones, cause nausea and vomiting, and may even result in birth defects. 
The Australian Organic Directory lists ethical companies who supply the best eco-friendly, natural and organic maternity products. This includes plant bristle dry body brushes, natural cotton tampons, pregnancy skin and body care, cotton maternity pillows, maternity clothes and many more.
