Teratogens web search

This search brought up sites of mother to baby OTIS factsheets. A teratogen is an

exposure in pregnancy that has a harmful fetal effect. These websites give
information and fact sheets on various exposures of concern. The fact sheets will
answer frequently asked questions about exposures during pregnancy. Here is a
sample of what I found put into categories and each category has a fact sheet on
the teratogen and its effects during pregnancies. Here is a list broken down into
