Pregnancy

. While there are no adequate reports or well-controlled studies in pregnant women, chlorhexidine is considered safe for cleansing of the birth canal, and may be as effective as ampicillin for the prevention of neonatal group B streptococcus. Some studies suggest its use during labor may also decrease HIV transmission. It does not, however, reduce the incidence of postpartum endometritis.

Fetal Health

There are no adequate reports or well-controlled studies in human fetuses. It is unknown whether chlorhexidine crosses the 185 human placenta. Exposure to chlorhexidine during birth is not associated with any increase in neonatal mortality rate due to sepsis, fever, poor feeding, apnea, or dyspnea in newborns.

Breastfeeding

It is not known whether chlorhexidine enters human milk. While there are no adequate reports or well-controlled studies in nursing women, the quantity of drug absorbed systemically during a brief encounter is likely minimal.
