Is It Safe Expose Oneself To Pesticides During 17 Weeks Of Pregnancy?

don't need to worry.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
All pesticides (including week killer) can be toxic and cause problems in all people ,not only in pregnant women.
It is true that being exposed to pesticides during pregnancy increases the risk for birth defects or prematurity.The risk is greater in the first trimester of pregnancy.
This is true for chronic exposure or being exposed to high levels of the herbicid.
A sporadic exposure to low levels of herbicid (since you had a cover over your mouth and nose) for a short period of time, won't cause any problem for you and your baby.
You don't need to worry.Your baby will be just fine.You should avoid any contact with such toxic products like pesticides or other chemicals in the future.
Hope it helps.
Let me know if you have any other question.
Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati
