I would see little harm from a .22; certainly far less than the shottie, however with that said, I would certainly agree with the above re: outdoor range, minimal lead exposure (i.e. filter mask and gloves), and if available, I would think a suppressed rifle/pistol would be the way to go.
I might also consider, as odd as it will sound, a blanket or jacket or some other thick item placed on her abdomen to provide some level of hearing protection for the growing one.
If the use of a firearm cannot be made safe for live-fire, there certainly can be no excuse for not doing dry-fire (or airsoft) practice which has the additional benefit of being free.
Of note, I would like to make clear that this is not based on medical knowledge or experience but rather on what seems to make sense. I welcome any thoughts which may document error in this post.
Blessings,
Bill
