Working with alcohol prep pads while pregnant

[faithhope]

Hi,

I'm pregnant and work for an allergy practice (sorry for posting here, I didn't see a specific board for office nurses). The last several times that I've strictly administered allergy injections I've developed a terrible headache. I was wondering if anyone knew, aside from the headaches, if it's safe to be in close contact w/alcohol prep pads for long periods at a time. The injection room that I work in is quite small and isn't well ventilated. I did leave a message w/my dr's office and am waiting for a call back.

Thanks in advance.

That sounds like an excellent question for your doc.

Yes, this is definitely something your OB needs to address.

Hope you get the reassurance you need.

if you wear gloves to prepare/administer allergy injections, latex allergy symptom can be a headache. please discuss with employer and ob asap:
