Asbestos and pregnancy

[Anonymous]

I'm moving back to my old office in about a month- I'll be about 5 mo pregnant. They are currently cleaning it out/removing asbestos from the ceiling, etc. I haven't found much on the web about asbestos and pregnancy...just that inhaling asbestos over years and years can be dangerous. I'll be in there the last 4 mo of pregnancy. It's a government building, I'm sure it's a very thorough cleanup, but I'm feeling a little funny about it. Am I being neurotic? Not really too much I can do about the office location, but are there any concerns I should have?

asbestos isn't good for anyone! i am sure they will be very diligent about cleanup, especially in a government agency. it's a major liability.
