Does Chlorine Gas Exposure During Pregnancy Cause Birth Defects In The Baby?
Is chloramine and chlorine gas exposure going to cause birth defects in my baby? I had accidental exposure to both yesterday for a few minutes. Only had a bit of dizziness and a cough (that is still ongoing). My doctors nurse said they won t cross the placenta. Is this true? I am 5 weeks pregnant.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The nurse that you spoke to was correct. Neither will cross the placenta to cause problems for you and your baby.
You and baby should be fine
I hope this helps
