    Hello Laura! My girlfriend is pregnant... since september 2000! She
    hasn't been pregnant only four months between the two pregnancies...
    more busy in the baby shop than in the work shop...hehehe... 

    Well, we didn't stop working because of that, but we were just
    extremely careful. You basically have to stay away from all
    chemicals, or have sufficient protection, and more specifically, an
    excellent mask, not those cheap things you buy 3$ for a pack of 5
    that you end up with as much buffing compound in the nose as if you
    didn't have any, but one that protects your face and has filters. It
    has to protect you from gas fumes, buffing compound, and all those
    mysterious colorful fumes that turn you dizzy when you breathe too
    much of it ;). Seriously, be careful as everything YOU breathe, your
    baby breathes too. And last thing of all: AVOID neutralizing the
    pickle pot!!!! Mucho dangerous, even with a mask (paranoia is good
    when you're pregnant). As for the perfect mask to use, in the past
    year, there were a lot of posts regarding safety masks, so look in
    the archives. 

Have a nice pregnancy!
