I think the OP may be worried about possible illnesses she may encounter through triage that would be bad for the baby. These are people with illnesses which have yet to be diagnosed. There is a possibility that the OP may come in contact with some bad stuff. For example getting chicken pox in the first part of pregnancy can result in congenital varicella syndrome. This condition is can result in birth defects, including skin scarring, malformed limbs, an abnormally small head, vision or hearing problems, and motor or mental developmental disabilities. There are some other communicable diseases that can really harm a fetus as well. But if your vaccines are up-to-date and the titers are ok, I would think the risk is minimal.
