I was gonna say def stay home; better safe than sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304836 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 08:15:36 +0000 ladybee 2304836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My best friend went in today and she says the building smells really strong still. I'm glad I stayed home! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304742 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 05:37:51 +0000 Purpledaisy 2304742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will always stay home if given the choice :silly: But really, I do not think that they should have anyone back yet if they are concerned with safety. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304739 Tue, 29 Sep 2015 05:30:49 +0000 FaithFertility 2304739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brady80: I'm a teacher too, but I'd stay home! That little babe is way more important then 1 day of work!! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304648 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 21:04:03 +0000 catomd00 2304648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hell no!! Id never want to go back period but that's clearly not an option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304635 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 20:51:03 +0000 MrsF 2304635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely wouldn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304601 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 20:14:02 +0000 Mama Bird 2304601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's a good idea to go. I've seen some articles recently that some bedbug pesticides (pyrethrins) are bad for developing babies. A small one time exposure after first trimester might be no big deal, I really can't say for sure, but if you have the option to stay home, why risk it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304519 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 18:59:21 +0000 regberadaisy 2304519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely not go in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304513 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 18:49:45 +0000 BandDmommy 2304513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: I'd stay home </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304508 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 18:44:00 +0000 ladybee 2304508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brady80: I was obviously annoyed on the phone. My doctor would have given a definite answer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304505 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 18:38:12 +0000 brady80 2304505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: I can't believe that's what the doctor said! Definitely take the day off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304500 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 18:25:01 +0000 ladybee 2304500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah you guys are confirming my gut, I'm going to take tomorrow off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304487 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 18:04:39 +0000 mrbee 2304487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used supposedly non-toxic "organics" chemicals to treat our apartment for bedbugs years ago, and our son ended up breaking out in a rash... turns out Bee had inhaled some fumes after the treatment was finished, and our son was exposed through her breastmilk! Some details on the treatment used here:<br /> <a href="http://www.hellobee.com/2012/06/28/how-we-discovered-we-had-bed-bugs/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hellobee.com/2012/06/28/how-we-discovered-we-had-bed-bugs/</a></p> <p>Based on that experience, I definitely would not go back in that room. I'd also ask that they air it out overnight with the windows open! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304481 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:56:07 +0000 ladybee 2304481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The on call doctor said she doesn't have an answer for me. To do what I think is best. What?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304475 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:50:47 +0000 Bao 2304475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304467 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:43:02 +0000 ladybee 2304467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brady80: I have a call in to the on call doctor. I'm waiting to hear back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304465 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:41:20 +0000 hellobeeboston 2304465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, i'd wait. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304453 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:29:01 +0000 brady80 2304453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My gut says no. I'd ask your OB </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304446 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:22:36 +0000 iluvboba637 2304446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wouldn't but that's just my opinion. Our house was injected with termite treatment and the termite guy said it was safe to stay on premises but the smell was so strong that we stayed in a hotel for the night and even the next day or two it could still be noticed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304445 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:15:32 +0000 TrailRunner 2304445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely not. Even if you weren't pregnant you still shouldn't be in that environment. I also would not send my child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304441 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:08:00 +0000 Truth Bombs 2304441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely not. And as a parent, I would absolutely not send my child back less than 24 hours after a fumigation like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304437 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 17:01:16 +0000 youboots 2304437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304432 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 16:47:34 +0000 Mrs. Goose 2304432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! I am surprised you are even being asked to go back in so soon after, pregnant or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304428 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 16:44:13 +0000 Mrs Spoon 2304428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Not worth it especially if you have pre-approval. There are enough toxins in our environment that we can't control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304426 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 16:35:33 +0000 ldh112 2304426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Especially if your principal has already given you the option. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304424 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 16:30:41 +0000 mauxie 2304424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My initial reaction would be to say I wouldn't.. But I know that may be difficult given you're a teacher :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-go-to-work#post-2304422 Mon, 28 Sep 2015 16:28:43 +0000 ladybee 2304422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So the school I work at was closed today due to bed bugs. A company came in today to exterminate which I'm being told included heat and chemical spray or bombing. We are supposed to report tomorrow. </p> <p>I'm 20 weeks pregnant and my principal said its up to me if I go or not since it won't be 24 hours between extermination and us reporting. They had to spray the two classrooms I work in (7 were treated). </p>
