ANSWER: Absolutely! Lead transfers from mother to unborn child making the developing brain of the fetus very vulnerable. Expectant mothers must be extremely vigilant to avoid all potential lead sources, however a woman’s exposure to lead while she is pregnant is not the only concern. Lead accumulates in bone and tissue over a woman’s lifetime. During pregnancy, this stored lead also transfers directly to the fetus.
