We had planned ghar ka renovation work this year and now im 4 months pregnant. My family is saying construction shouldn't happen during pregnancy, some superstition type thing. Is there actually anything to it or is it just old beliefs? thoda confused.
Dekho, simple baat hai. Do not go near the construction site at all. Cement ki dhool and paint smells are bad for you right now, safety comes first. Let your husband or family handle the supervisor work, you just rest in a clean room.
Construction itself is fine but the dust and chemical fumes from paint are highly risky for the baby's lungs. Better stay away from the site, especially during the active dust phase. If you have to visit, always wear a good N95 mask and don't lift anything.
Oh god, even we are planning some renovations and I am super stressed about the dust! Did anyone else stay elsewhere during home paint work? I am so scared the constant noise and smell will affect my baby in this second trimester.
I have seen many families going through this. If possible, stay at your mom's place or rent a temporary flat till the heavy dusty work is done. It is not safe to inhale paint thinner fumes and cement dust during these precious nine months.
Haan na, isme sabse badi problem to dust ki hai. Continuous noise se headache bhi hone lagta hai na. Safar karega baby if you inhale those strong paint smells, so thoda door rehna hi accha option hai.
