I am 12 weeks pregnant and thought that I was going to have to give up fire hooping for a few months.  My husband just had the wonderful idea of buying a respirator to prevent exposure to white gas fumes.  Between that and some gloves for fuel up, I am thrilled to keep fire hooping through pregnancy!

I thought the amount of white gas fumes was akin to standing around while pumping gas?? A respirator sounds EXHAUSTING! haha... what a sweet gesture though

A couple of months ago, I was practicing fire for 1/2 hour, twice a week.  Definitely more exposure than I am comfortable with without a respirator.  At this stage, I am still hooping a lot but less with fire, so I have moved to respirator during practice but performing.  Everyone seems to have their own opinion about the risks of fire dancing while pregnant, but doing what I can to avoid chemical exposures has definitely put my mind at ease...
