Question 1

iiiiiiiiii
worried i might be pregnant.i am a welder. is the fumes from welding going to affect a baby.i?

Accepted Answer

Welders: http://www.welding-rod-dangers.com/exposure/exposure.htm.  My guess would be the unborn baby would be at risk of neurologic disorders to some degree.  Not sure how you could minimize the risk

Question 2

i'm 14 weeks pregnant and work as a welding facilitator. i have to demonstrate sometimes and weld. what are the dangers of welding while pregnant. how does it affect the baby?

Accepted Answer

Multiple dangers.: According to NCBI: exposure during pregnancy to welding fumes (WF) and metal dusts or fumes (MD/F) independently and jointly increases the risk of preterm delivery, low birth weight, and small-for-gestational age.  It is also a possibility to get shocked or burned while welding. Talk to your OSHA  supervisor and ask what options you have to avoid these during your pregnancy.

Question 3

i have habit of eating raw rice frequently im nt able to control myself..! planning to get pregnant n m scared if it will effect bad? any solution?

Accepted Answer

A habit to break...: Raw rice won't harm your pregnancy unless it is contaminated with a germ that can harm your pregnancy.  When rice is cooked, all the germs are killed and its the best way to eat rice when you are pregnant.  You should work on breaking this habit prior to "trying" to get pregnant.  Get help from a therapist if you can't do it on your own.  Best wishes!

Question 9

is it bad to see a snake while pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Snakes!: It's bad to see a snake any time... those slithery, scaly, creepy, sometimes poisonous, always scary, creatures. On the other hand, if you see the snake, you know where it is. If you don't see it, you're constantly wondering where it went. Being pregnant doesn't make a difference, except that you're radiating more heat, from a bigger body, and can't run as fast... no, let's not think about that.

Question 10

Accepted Answer
