Hi,
I am unsure where I was meant to put this but,
I am currently 10 and a half weeks pregnant and I am currently living next door to a chicken factory.
The smell is unbelievable at times and even before pregnancy I have wondered the health risks. I have tried researching but it mainly talks about farms in general and that it can cause miscarriage and birth defects etc.
I have tired talking to a nurse at my doctors and she wasn't very helpful.
Does anyone have the answer to is breathing in this smell harmful to my growing baby, I am actually really concerned over this.
Thanks
