Good Morning Stacey,
 1. Yes, I have been pregnant while a Histologist.
2. No, I was not unable to do any of my duties.  (Except that some
brought on nausea I had never experienced before. Then again, getting
out of bed made me nauseous too!)
3. My work didn't affect my pregnancy at all, but I did find that all
issues of safety seemed much more poignant to me during all those days.

I am performing a pole for some inquiring employees.  If anyone would
like to comment - Thank you.
 
1.  Have you ever been pregnant while working with in the histology
laboratory?
 
2.  Did your work duties have to be altered while being pregnant and to
what extent? 
 
3.  Did working in the histology laboratory effect your pregnancy in
any negative way?
 
Our laboratory does perform regular ppm testing for xylene and
formalin.
 
Thank you for any comments for our pole,
