I am working in the industrial
invironment. Every day I get exposed to
weilding fumes, smoke, loud noise. I am
so paranoid that somehow it's going to
affect my future baby's health. will
somebody tell me if there is any danger
for me to stay in this kind of invironment
if I am 9 weeks pregnant.

This is something you should discuss with
your doctor and if you continue to work.
Perhaps he can give you some ideas to
protect your health as well as your
babies. Id wear a mask around fumes and
gloves if I came in contact with chemicals
till I could get to him and find out for
sure... hugs and good luck..

No, chemicals and fumes are not safe for
your child. But this is definetly
something you should discuss with your dr.

By welding fumes I assume you mean smoke,
etc released from steel when it's heated?
It really depends on the type of metal,
the ventillation, and how close you are to
the fumes. Til you can talk to your
doctor, take a couple vacation days from
work because it is rediculous to expose
your baby to this stuff. If you're
talking about a construction site or
something where ur only around the fumes
for a total of a few minutes day, that's
completely different, so try to explain in
more detail the environment you're talking
about.
