I worked in the medical field prior to my first baby and hand sanitizer saved me most likely from a lot of illnesses.  I used it all day long and my first child doesn't have 5 eyes or anything.   :>)

I use it when not at home. After going to a public place I use a little before touching my steering wheel in my car. There is way to much going around and pregnancy is the worse and easiest time to get sick.

I used it in my first, I honestly believe it helped me avoid some of the cold and flu that was going around my office at the time, but I've never heard that your not supposed to. It certainly wasn't one of the things my dr mentioned.
