That article is titled "Pregnancy in the lab" and has some nice personal stories.
At UCLA we have tried to provide some more concrete assistance, so here is the EH&S page titled "Research Safety for Pregnant Workers":
https://www.ehs.ucla.edu/pregnantworkers
In my own organic synthesis research lab I would not advise a researcher to work in lab all the way through pregnancy. BUT there are all sorts of legal issues here (HIPAA, Title IX, etc). For example, I cannot ask if someone is pregnant, nor can I move them onto a different project, nor can I tell them not to come to lab.
The UCLA Graduate Division helps by providing advice and resources to pregnant graduate students and postdocs:

The Pregnant Scholar has a listing of University of California policies for pregnant students:
If your university does not have readily available advice, they should consider providing it.

This may be of interest to many of you. Does not appear to be behind a pay wall.
