Hello, Annie

    My own personal experience may be skewed because all it takes for me
    to get pregnant is for my husband to hold my hand. 

    However, I do not believe you have anything to worry about. Wear a
    protective mask for polishing, if you like, but be aware that if you
    go outside you may inhale diesel fumes from a passing truck. It's
    easy to look suspiciously at jewelry, but do you really know what
    your furnace is putting in the air, or what is in the water you've
    been drinking? 

    As for chemicals, consider that arsenic is a naturally occuring
    element in our bodies and the soil in your garden. I wouldn't drink
    the denatured alcohol, but the female body is built to protect the
    babies it carries. Food poisoning, shock, flu, hard physical labor
    (landscaping), cooking with teflon pans - my body kept my babies
    safe through all these, and I've worked up until delivery. 

    My children are healthy, and the next one is projected to be 9
    pounds (and a C-section!). 

    Don't worry so much. Obviously, don't be stupid; but don't borrow
    trouble, either. 

    Again, there are folks who will disagree with me, but this advice is
    based on my own personal experiences, not anyone else's. 

    Have fun getting pregnant. When the baby moves, it's unforgettable.
    If the baby moves when you have gas, it's unforgettable for everyone
    else. ;) 

God bless,
Susannah Page-Garcia
