chemical substances

We're planning to start trying for a first baby early next year.
Finally, the decision has been made

I have one problem: at work I come into contact with chemicals every day, and despite that, we are not protected at all, so we have to keep working until the 9th month. Unless health dictates otherwise, of course..
Now I'd really like to find a site listing the products I'm not allowed to handle when pregnant. That way I can pass those tasks on to a colleague.
I do know about a few (tasks that were passed on to me when they were pregnant) but I'd really love to have the full list.
My colleague mentioned it once, but I forgot the name of that site. It's not intended that my colleague knows about our plans yet though.

So I hope someone here can help me

Otherwise, I'm starting preparations like scheduling check-ups with the gynecologist next year and taking folic acid. I think those are the main things

    what kind of fabrics do you work with, if I may ask?

    Medications.
    From prednisolone to lactose, for example.

    I work in a pharmacy

    To give an example, I know that I shouldn't work with: metronidazole, finasteride, and isotretinoin. These are a few that come up often, and those are the ones they warn us about at school. But there are more that I don't know by heart.

    Hi ladies, now that we're talking about chemicals, we're painting here. I heard from a friend that it could be harmful... Does anyone know? My boyfriend is painting, and the smell is everywhere in the house. I'm 7 weeks and a half pregnant.

    Thanks in advance!!!
