Im scared *UPDATE*

Dh's heat has been acting up in his car
He had to take it in this morning because it was smelling bad. THe mechanic said that is was probably spraying antifreeze vapors into the car! I have been in that car numerous times n the past few days. Im trying to through few to the doctor now. I went to the doc on Thursday for a check up and heart beat and all were good but Im so scared what breathing in all that stuff could have done! I was in the car for half an hour on Sat and about half an hour on Sunday. Chat Icon

Its all ok
The doc said Iw ould have gotten sick from fumes like that. I did stay ome today because I think I have been running myself ragged the past few days. I would have been nauseous, throwing up, etc. When it coms through the vents, its already thinned out, so the concentration isnt all that bad. And yesterday, DH had the back windown down because the smell was a little strong when we first got in the car, so that probably negated my exposure then. Themechanic at the car place even said that its not like sniffing the antifreeze through the bottle. Its in the radiator, which has a filter, etc.

I had something similar happen. Our lobby was being painted with the most horrible smelling paint (it was latex, but not the low oder variety)... we live above the lobby and all the fumes went directly into our bedroom and living room Chat Icon so horrible. we vented it as much as we could, but I did breathe in some of that for several hours Chat Icon

Definitely call your Dr, and tell them what happened... Honestly, though, I am fairly certain your will be fine. if the concentration was great enough to harm the baby, I think it would have become a STRONGLY aversive smell to you, and you would have instinctually left ASAP. It probably wasn't that much exposure at all
