    Laura, I had two difficult pregnancies and am sorry to report that
    both my doctor's and obstetrical specialist's advice was the same as
    the Health and Safety report reccomendations.  I quit all work
    involving anything the slightest bit toxic during the four years I
    was expecting my first to when my second was a year old.  I took up
    a line of production wirework and took it to a high level.  I feel
    it will now be an asset to me going back to more traditional
    silversmithing.  However, have since been told that all the metal
    dust from filing metal wire wasn't good either.  No matter what I
    should have been wearing a mask.  I regret that now.  That would be
    my advice.  Try to take up something short-term less risk and use
    safety equipment anyway.  Congratulations on your expected child.   
    -Naomi in Saskatchewan
