Brought the Baby home from the hospital today. He's healthy and beautiful. :)

He was due 2 days ago. Going in to get checked out this morning. Today might be the day. :)

Thanks for the info again! My blood work came back normal. I'm feeling fine today. My 6 year old son never really exhibited any symptoms from the same exposure, so I think my pre existing chemical sensitivity / intolerance was a big part of my reaction.

Thank you very much Chem Geek. We'll get one of the recommended test kits instead. I really appreciate your help.

It was a black cotton tank top I wore, but yes it did.

I didn't have any lung, sinus, or skin issues. It seems like if the chlorine was 375 times higher than normal that I should have had some of those symptoms, no? My 6 year old son said his eyes were burning a little, but I don't think it was bad, they weren't red. I didn't get any in my eyes...

Thank you for asking your OB family member. I think comparing it to Gen. Anesthesia is a good way of looking at.

Thank you everyone for your help. I went to the doctor and of course they aren't experienced in this situation at all so they were looking it up online without finding much. They drew blood for a liver panel test and a chemical screen that we'll have back tomorrow. They said the baby seems...

Thank you Chem Geek. I really appreciate your detailed answer. It gives me something to tell the doctor. Although 375 times the normal amount certainly doesn't put me at ease, that sounds terrible. I think you're totally right about the chloroform. That would explain why I was literally...

It's a 5500 gal. Intex pool. The only thing we added was the salt. The water was city tap water so it had some chlorine to begin with. The swg is a Intex Krystal clear 15,000 gal saltwater system

Thank you. Hopefully the chloramines weren't too high. The pool has barely been used yet. Ironically, I purchased this index pool specifically to avoid chloramines and / or too much chlorine during this pregnancy. I haven't had as much skin irritation as I did last summer in the public pool...

I called them, they had no info or help.

I've been swimming in the pool for 1-2 hours each day. My husband accidentally left our SWG on shock levels for several days (not sure how long) I started getting sick a few days ago, feeling like I had a hangover. We just tested the chlorine with a strip and it was off the chart. We diluted...
