Pregnant GF advise.

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong section but could use some assistance from the lovely ladies of boards..
Background story is working on, now managing a cereal cropping farm in the Uk, for 4yrs 3months, dating my much better half for just under 4yrs. I know it's a cliche but truly fell head over heals the moment we met, living together happily after 6 weeks, i have no defences against her. The past week has been Extremely busy as this is our main work period during the year and fell behind, but today was wet and a bank holiday Monday so a pyjamas and chocolate day was organised! .
So, over the course of the morning she revealed a letter from a Gp's appointment from Friday to reveal we're hopefully having a little person in about 8 months, i'm completely blind sided, we hoped for kids one day but never made plans.... So, spent today just talking about things, but have a few questions i have and hope you maybe able to help with.

-She is currently working in Ag research with cereal crops and some pretty hazardous agri-chemicals for a company who are funding her PhD, would this be something for an expectant mother to do?
-She did have a contraceptive implant , which we thought would have had her covered for a few extra months or so, or do they fail sometimes or we could be wrong/past the safe period of the implant?

Thanks for any help you could give, it's one hell of a supprise that's knocked us for 6,but it's a good one! Going back to the Gp tomorow afternoon together to talk about things.
It's all a bit bewildering and exciting!

Hi OP, and congratulations on your happy news
I'm afraid that boards doesn't allow any medical advice to be given out. Noth questions you asked are significant ones to consider in a new pregnancy, so really I'd talk them through with the GP when you see them.


Best of luck with everything,
Sauve.
