This month’s JulieG Radio topic is extra special for me and it is a question I get often... Should I shoot while I am pregnant? Listen to the Show: The short answer? Consult with your doctor and your partner to make the right decision for you. You may just find that your doctor doesn't have much information on the matter and so for this episode I wanted to share links and resources I have found to be helpful when making my decision about when to stop shooting while expecting. There's also some good general information for shooters and especially those who have small children. There are three primary concerns when it comes to pregnant women spending time at the range and the first one really pertains to everyone who shoots. Lead Exposure All shooters should be aware of the dangers of lead exposure. Lead poisoning is tough to detect and people can even seem healthy. Here are some symptoms of lead poisoning. In adults: high blood pressure, decline in mental functioning, pain, numbness or tingling of the extremities, muscular weakness, headache, abdominal pain, memory loss, mood disorders and in men, reduced sperm count and/or abnormal sperm. In children: irritability, loss of appetite, weight loss, sluggishness and fatigue, abdominal pain, vomiting, constipation and learning difficulties There are specific dangers for pregnant women and newborns. Pregnant women with lead poisoning can have miscarriages or premature births. Newborns and babies who are exposed to lead before birth may experience learning difficulties and slowed growth. When it comes to lead exposure, the government has stepped in to protect pregnant women in the work environment, unborn babies and young children in an attempt to prevent lead poisoning. In 1988 the government passed the Lead Contamination Control Act that authorized the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to initiate program efforts to eliminate childhood lead poisoning in the United States. Other government agencies have also issued warnings about lead exposure. The Environmental Protection Agency reports how lead exposure can affect the fetus and young children. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has a Lead Standard for the work place where physician recommendations for special protective measures or medical removal for an employee who is pregnant or who is planning to conceive are taken into account. The CDC warns how lead can cross the placental barrier and how it can affect a developing baby and mom. Ways to reduce exposure to lead in every day life from the CDC: Avoid using and eating products that may contain lead. Avoid using containers, cookware, or tableware to store or cook foods or liquids that are not shown to be lead free. Remove recalled toys and toy jewelry immediately from children and check the CDC's Lead Recalls list. Use only cold water from the tap for drinking, cooking, and for making baby formula. Shower and change clothes after finishing a task that involves working with lead-based products such as stain glass work, bullet making, or using a firing range. Eat and/or drink in areas where lead or lead-containing products are not being handled or processed. Noise Exposure Another question that comes to mind for expecting moms is how will the noise from...

I am SUPER excited to share the first episode of an... All New Podcast - GUN GIRL RADIO! Now, some of you may already subscribe to my podcast. (And here's me looking sheepish as I write this.) Well... I have been on a bit of hiatus from my podcast. It's not going away!!! I just needed to make some investments in gear and decide where I want to go with it. There will be more on that later, so please stay tuned! For now though, I'm hitting the airwaves (or whatever the internet equivalent is to that) with co-hosts Jake Challand and Randi Rogers! You may know Jake as the founder of the Firearms Radio Network and host of popular Gun Guy Radio and the AR15.com Podcast. I had the chance to chat with Jake on Gun Guy Radio back in July in the M&P vs. Glock vs. XD showdown. Not only did I have a lot of fun, I learned a lot about podcasting in general. Randi, well, she really needs no introduction. She's been tearing it up at competitions ever since she was a young'n and I have come to know her as not only a fierce competitor, but a friend as well. I'm looking forward to chatting about guns, gear and shooting sports on the show. We recorded our first episode this week and it's now LIVE at GunGirlRadio.com (and on iTunes soon too). Please have a listen and give us your feedback. Then next episode is all about United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) so if you have any questions for us, please send an email to ladies@gungirlradio.com or you can post them below or in the comments of the show notes page for our first episode - GGP 001 – Who’s Who of Gun Girl Radio.

Team USA shooting athletes are enjoying the limelight as medalists in the 2012 Olympics Games but have American shooters received the attention they deserve as Olympic athletes? I weigh in on this and other topics in the August episode of the JulieG Podcast. Tune in for my take on coverage of shooting athletes in the London Games and how Team USA athletes have been celebrated in both mainstream media, and in outdoor and shooting sports publications. I also touch on how watching athletes perform in the Olympics can give shooters insight on how to shoot well during intense competition. In addition to The London Games, I share my recent trip to the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA) conference, and what it is like to be a guest on another podcast. After that it's shotgun talk and exploring the duaload reloading technique with my Benelli M2. I wrap up the show with upcoming events.
