Ammonia

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I work in a paint department. I mix colors and clean up paint pretty much. Since I've worked there we have always used glass cleaner to clean the paint off the desk and our hands. I didnt know this until today but the cleaner we use has ammonia in it. I've been using it every day  for a few months to get the paint off of my hands. Could it have hurt my baby? I'm really worried :(

Nooo it's fine. You can even dye your hair during any stage of your pregnancy and hair dye has a high content of ammonia in it

I think as long as your not like huffing it or ingesting it you should be fine. I.clean with chemicals every day. And my baby is perfectly fine and healthy.
