Loves Weezy
Are you able to work as a medical technologist or clinical laboratory scientist while pregnant?
Asked by Loves Weezy


A:
Best Answer:
Sure, you can do it, just be avoid X-ray exposition.

A:
yes... and no. There will be certain assays that you cannot run while pregnant. To name a few, any that deal with handling teratogenic chemicals, mutogenic compounds or any sort of parasite bloodwork like for example a toxoplasmosis diagnostic test. (FYI, pregnant women cant go near Cat litter boxes because cat's feces often are homes to "toxoplasmodium" parasites... which can harm a fetus.)

A:
Yes I don't see why not, but I wouldn't recommend some of the areas of work, as it involves some different chemicals and radiation. I would talk with your doctor if you are interested in some of these fields.
