Hmm.. sailed to the Farallons on a Mason 43. One of the crew was
a pregant woman, probably in the last 2 month of pregancy.

It was pretty rough that day, and she, along with only one other
person managed not to get sick (I wasn't the other one).

"Some women, when pregnant, must refrain from time on the water due to
severe bouts of naseau. Not only is this recommended for the comfort of
the
lady, it is imperative for the safety of the fetus. It has been found
that
the fetus can suffer from motion sickness also. This puts baby at greater
risk."

Not too worried. We've already spoken to doctors about it. Note the source
listed was 15 years old! The biggest risk aboard is heat, as Jeff pointed out.

Actually it is mold spores in the bilge and cushions.

Search mycotoxins and related toxins. Largest cause of spontaneous
miscarraiges.

I would think getting bumped hard would also be a risk factor.
Of course, in calm water that's less likely.
