The laser is not radiation however it is not to be used on pregnant women .No laser company is going to sponsor a study on pregnant women ,Although it should not any effect on the baby there is no data available re theoretical effects. The only restriction for a technician is to protect the eyes with proper goggles. You can check with your ob re their recommendation. If you are very concerned and you can financially you could resume work after delivery.
