Renovations while pregnant

If it makes you feel any better we had a similar thing happen when my first was born, plans got held up and we ended up having an argument with our builders who left us with 4 unfinished walls a moat across the front of our house a hole where our front door should have been. We used a plank of wood to get in and out and had to pack gaps with sheets to secure the front door, luckily we had an internal door but it wasn't well insulated. I then got covid in a heatwave( it was 2021) and my husband accidentally put the wrong fuel in his car and we ended up selling both cars once it was fixed. All our last bit of money went on trying to sort the cars, get a new one and sort out 1 bedroom as a nursery. Baby came just as I started to feel better from covid in between all of this. We managed to get replacement builders when baby was 3 months and I would spend a lot of time back and forth from my parents house if it was too dusty or in the 1 room that was done. It wasn't ideal but it was doable if that gives you hope.

Just to add circumstances have made it that we had a surprise pregnancy this time and builders have been booked in for March to do phase 2 of our renovations. They were booked before we even knew we were pregnant. This baby is due in June and I'm really hoping we don't end up in exactly the same position 🙈

I feel you on this! I’m literally in the same position, 28.5 weeks now, house is in full renovation state, dust is somehow everywhere. I’m usually a bit of a clean freak so it’s driving me insane 😂. My coping strategy has been shopping cute little things and outfits for the baby and doing small little jobs to feel like I’m helping out (painting, supervising and making cups of coffee for husband whilst he’s working lol). As stressful as it is, I’m sure you’ll feel so relieved when it’s all done and your house is in a state you’re pleased with before the baby arrives 🤞🏽😊
