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

A doctor has provided 1 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
