Pregnancy and the school science workplace: I recently found out I am pregnant and just wanted to enquire as to whether there are any chemicals/experiments that (to your knowledge) I would need to avoid? From what I've seen, there aren't any chemicals widely used that are extra harmful in pregnancy and I will obviously continue to use all PPE and the fume hood.
