A member asked:
I may be pregnant. i work construction, i deal with concrete. i breath concrete dust a lot of times and breath chemicals. will that affect my preg?

Chemical exposure: What ever is not healthy for you is not healthy for a baby you may be carrying. I'm not sure you are even in compliance with OSHA regulations if you are breathing in so many irritants. You need to determine if you are pregnant, but regardless, you should strongly consider a different occupation where your health is not so compromised by your environment.
