preppyrose 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2012 Can you speak to your management if you are concerned? My office did some reno when I was around 5 weeks. So far i was exposed mainly to paint. I called my gynae and did some googling and both said it's actually ok. MOst new paints are toxic free (cannot remember the exact term). I can't comment on abnormalities cos my bb is only due in Nov.

preppyrose 0 Report post Posted July 9, 2012 I was advised to wear a mask if I feel uncomfortable, which I did. Talk to your gynae and see what they say. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
