Hello-I am also pregnant and work in a hospital setting. I avoid everything-MRSA, VRE, CDIFF and chemo. I also double glove if I have to adminiter any meds that might come in contact with my skin such as narcotic or hormone patches. I work with a manager, charge nurse and coworkers who are very supportive and protective of me and my pregnancy so they make it easy for me. They will switch patients with before I even know why. However, if you don't have that kind of support, you have to stand up for yourself and your baby. Infection control will tell you that as long as you use precuations you are safe, but I'm not willing to risk it.
