I am pregnant and my apartment has been found to have lead paint. Am I at risk and can my unborn child be poisoned?

Lead is a neurotoxin and is certainly dangerous for young children and pregnant women.  Lead can also be passed to a fetus in utero as well as present risks and harm to the pregnant mother.  Any person in such a circumstance should seek immediate medical attention, and this history should be made available to the baby’s pediatrician at birth.
