20 Weeks pregnant and nervous!!!?
I’ve been pretty good, up until today. I’m freaking out and I hope someone can ease my concerns. I work at an Inn in the Northeast. We have a beautiful front lawn, and a courtyard with a garden. The courtyard doors are always open, and I sit right by them. The owner of the Inn just informed me today that both the front lawn and the courtyard were sprayed yesterday. I worked yesterday. He has no idea what it was sprayed with however, knowing him and his gardens, I know it was heavy duty stuff.
I’ve had a great pregnancy so far, and my baby girl is healthy, healthy, healthy however I have heard horror stories about pregnancy complications and spraying. Again, this was yesterday. I worked yesterday and had no idea! It was raining so I closed the doors about two hours in, however I was walking around out in the courtyard. I’m working today as well.
Will I be okay, or should I be concerned and go to my Dr. first thing tomorrow?
This is my first and I’m hoping I’m just being super paranoid 🙁

I would not think it would be to much of a concern but if you want to call your doctor and make sure I would do that.

I think you will be ok as long as you didn’t lick the flowers! No im kidding, but you should be ok. Especially if it is outdoors. You can respectively inform your boss if there is anymore scheduled spraying that he can schedule you OFF for those days. They say don’t paint either because of the fumes but everyone is different I painted my baby’s nursery at 25 weeks. If your are that concerned give your doctor a call, that’s what they are there for to answer any questions you might have about your pregnancy.

you only have to worry about pesticides in non ventilated areas such as inside your house and even then, most are not harmful to be around. if your still concerned tomorrow, call your doctor tomorrow. but they will probably tell your the same thing, that there is nothing to worry about. good luck doll and try not to worry.
i think your fine.. but you could CALL and see what they think. i know you are a little paranoid but try to relax and not be so paranoid. just be careful like you have been and have a happy pregnancy. it will be okay…
