When you are pregnant it can be a challenge to limit your exposure to harmful substances and activities in your everyday life.  Many expecting moms also have to be concerned about occupational exposure to things like chemicals or heavy lifting at work.  This episode addresses questions from a listener who is a painter and is concerned about her job and her baby’s health.  This episode is focused on what work or job hazards pose a risk, and how to figure out what you can avoid, or what modifications you can make to make your job environment safer for you and your baby throughout your pregnancy.
