is this a myth or true?

[justwantanswers]

Hi, I have a question. I have researched this and can not find it anywhere. One of my fellow employees went to a training class for our job. She said the instructor told her that pregnant women cannot be around toddlers urine because of some chemical in it that causes still births. Is this true? I was wondering because I teach two-year olds and they are in pull-ups. I am also 6 weeks pregnant. Just curious.

I have never heard of that before!
I have a step-daughter who is potty training and never heard it was a bad thing when I was pregnant....its human urine just like ours, I don't see a difference with toddler urine and adult urine.
I know that being around cat litter and areas that they urine etc. you shouldn't be around that. She may have misheard the person, or else the instructor doesn't know and just said that for the hell or it!
I'm sure not to worry!!
