Wait, what? Which "done deed" are you talking about? Conceiving or going to the range? If you're talking about the range, I agree - no big deal. Kalashkid, take a shower and wash your clothes and I can't see it being much of an issue at all. If you're talking about the fact that the baby is already conceived and is safe til he/she is born, no way. If the mother gets lead poisoning, the fetus will suffer.nothing to worry about now the deed is already done. after your offspring is born, shower (& change clothes obviously) after range trip before handling that precious addition to your family---congrats

-Proud to be dad every day, a licensed plumber most days, and wish I was a shoemaker on others.
Move the brass out of the room. Probably not a problem, but there is no way of knowing what kind of dust is in there. 5-gallon pails with snap-on lids work great. Congratulations and best wishes.All that stuff is stable but i also have a lot of used brass in the closet for when i get into reloading. I imagine that is probably the thing i have to worry about?
Shes very early on but went she went insane mode on me which i shrugged off...but now im paranoid...i cant imagine having a baby that has problems because of some stupid move i made...She will not be shooting and i imagine i will slow down big time on the range sessions. I have in our master bedroom a huge walk in closet with a 20 gun safe and then an adjoining safe with a lot of ammo..All that stuff is stable but i also have a lot of used brass in the closet for when i get into reloading. I imagine that is probably the thing i have to worry about? The used brass? I'm rambling here i apologize but i'm pretty concerned now that she went crazy. Thanks again guys.
I looked into this a lot when my wife got pregnant. 2 major things came into factor for my wife shooting, No contact with lead, plus the shockwave from the shots themself can affect baby. As for dad shooting as long as you wash your hands you should be find to touch the mrs.
I also learned that the wife is still a no go for shooting because she is breast feeding. no contact with lead.

at the end of the day you don't want to be left with the thought, (did my range trips and lead exposure mess up my kid?) whats more important range time or healthy baby? Why take the risk
