what should i do?

edited March 2011 in November 2011
I just found out today that I'm 4 weeks, 1 day pregnant with my first. I work as a housekeeper where I'm around a lot of chemicals such as the spray comet, spic n span and bleach and carry heavy microwaves and refrigerators all day. Should I talk to my boss right away, or quit, or just keep working? Sorry all, I'm very new to this.

  • I would talk to my boss. If he or she can not help you I would then quit. When I was pregnant with my daughter 2 yrs ago I was high risk and but on light light work only my boss would not move me to a different position so I had to quit. I worked in a daycare. Hope that helps good luck :)
  • I think you should talk to your doctor because I am pretty sure as long as long as it's well ventilated you can still use some things, with gloves, etc. good luck
  • Talk to your doc, you can always wear a mask, then talk to your boss, and maybe you can switch to alternative cleaners like vinegar with water, or earth friendly ones made from lemons/limes.
