hi m. erdman,

    having been pregnant twice, oops, i mean going through pregnancy
    twice with my wife, i know something about this.

    first, please stop sticking your face into chemicals for your
    own sake, though i hope you are just exagerating. 

    what you want to know, is what chemicals used in jewelry making
    are known teratogens (things that can physically or
    nuerologically harm your child in utero, thalidamide or accutane
    being well known teratogens).one can get a list from one's obgyn
    for the better known teratogens. cyanide can cross the placenta
    into an unborn child as well as  the alcohol in boric acid
    solution that can be inhaled. it is not known how little
    exposure to alcohol can effect an unborn child (fetal alcohol
    syndrome or fetal alcohol affect). my mother drank and smoked
    while pregnant and i can barely type. seriously, some moms are
    just more susceptable to these teratogens than other moms. it is
    best, or better yet essential not to drink smoke, take drugs not
    reccomennded by your obgyn. it's a pretty safe bet that
    breathing pickle fumes won't do any good to you or you're baby.
    make a list of the chemicals that you use in the shop and
    consult your obgyn. in spite of the warnings above, i suppose
    one should be able to conceive and carry a child in a jewelry
    shop environ provided that the jewelry shop is a safe one.   

    procreation can be fun as long as one is not thinking about it
    while doing it. speaking from small experience.......

best regards,
geo fox
