Hi there, i am 26 weeks pregnant and work at my local hospital as a house keeper in the evenings, i have been off work due to a pulled muscle in tummy(happened at work mopping floors) and returned last night, i was asked to go and work in the operating theatres- not doing anything strenuous[sp] which was fine and was more than happy to oblige- when my shift ended a colleague who had her baby last feb was told by her midwife she could not work in theatre or areas surrounding it (like the corridors where i was put to work) due to the anaestetic gases, is this the case?
sorry its a rather odd question i asked my supervisor about it and she informed me it was safe as long as i did not enter into the theatre itself- and i am only pregnant not ill!!!! i am rather confused and hope someone can shed some light.
