Yes, I know a lot about this actually. The chemicals in the dark room, can cause, fetal deformities, miscarriage, low birth weight, etc. Its kinda like inhaling paint, it has the same effects that drugs do on fetuses. However, if you have good ventilation, like bring in a fan and aim it toward your face, and wear a mask, you and your baby should be fine! Just don’t go in there with no protection!

We actually dont have any fans in the room.... Could this stuff have already harmed my baby? They said they can transfer me into another department for the time being... Do u think I should do that??? Im so scared now that somethins gonna be wrong wit my baby!

I think that you should take the transfer, as far as the baby goes, I am sure he or she is fine. An amniocentesis in the next 3 weeks can determine that for sure. I wouldn’t worry though. The sooner you get out though the better!

Thanx a whole bunch! Im gonna call my doctor tomorrow and get a note! I dont think we have an amniocentesis up here... Never heard of em before... But can an ultrasound tell? Thanx so much! So much taken off my shoulders now! Lol! My doctor would prolly suggest for me to leave too right? (gee sorry for all the questions! Just a nervous one aint I lol!) thanx again!

Lol its ok to be worried! Yes your doc will probably tell you the same exact thing. I don’t think they can tell through an ultrasound, but I could be wrong. I am glad I could help, take the rest of the night relax, have a warm bath and a warm glass of milk and talk to your baby! Have a goodnight…

Amnios are everywhere! Its where they place a needle through your abdomen and take a sample of amniotic fluid from the placenta with guidance from an ultrasound but they will do a blood test first and then they will do an amnio if they results are abnormal...
Good luck

Thank you so much! Nice to know I can always turn here for help thanks again! Good night!

Thanks everyone I called my doctor today but shes real busy and I gotta work tonight (this girl I work wit is lazy and a real... U know) so I hafta work wit all the chemicals tonight but I wanna see my doctor right away.. I talked to the school nurse and she thinks I should transfer too and I know my boss in photo lab will get real po'd at me and hate me but I think this is better for me. Thanks all! I feel so much better about the baby!

Yah I was thinking about that but then I wont be able to get my 600 hours for maternity leave.. Which would totally totally suck.. Cuz I got 500 hours now so even if I switched departments and stuff.. I'd still have my hours.. I just hate my boss in photo lab but id have a different one if I transfered to a diff department (hopefully it works out! Lol!)

Well to be honest, just call in to work tonight! You shouldn't be around all that stuff and if she is gonna be that way then fine, but don't feel badly ok, just call in and say sorry but I am not feeling well and talk to your manager later.

Thanks!

Lol! I shoulda read that before I went to work! :p but I talked to my manager and im gonna see my doctor hopefully thursday so I can get a note from her to stop working and I will put in my two weeks in that department but start off in another one (even at higher pay!!) and work from then on! Thanx all! Very helpful to me!!!

Lol your welcome! Glad I could help! Good luck with everything at work, and I am glad your gonna be making more money!

So do I lol!
