House Remodeling ???

We are remodeling our house & I heard the 1st trimester is the most dangerous time for toxins, dust, paint, etc as the baby is doing so much of it's developing during that first 3 months.  Is this true?  Should we wait until after 12 weeks to do the remodeling?

I would say get it done with but always wear a mask leave windows open . But of course talk to a Dr. or nurse but I think you and baby will do fine.

So is it best to do it now & just get it over with while it's hot & we can leave the windows open?  I'm only 4 weeks... Just tested this week so I'm really new at this.

Yes that's true. But you don't want to be around chemicals at all during your pregnancy it developed and grows the whole time. Just wear a mask as often as possible. And get lots of fresh air.
