Can Reno house during pregnancy/first trimester?

Im living with my in-laws, waiting for our house to be ready next year. Recently the aircon units broke down more frequently, its causing all of us (including me and hb) a lot of inconveniences and in laws are thinking of replacing all the old aircon which may involve repiping and more extensive works to the house. Also better for me and the baby in the future. But I was warned by others that it is a bane to do any major works to the place I stay throughout my pregnancy. I must avoid it at all cost (not just keep away from the Reno site during Reno period but if Reno, I should totally move out of the house for the rest of my pregnancy??). How serious is this?? What should I do to deal with both side of things I feel bad for causing inconvenience to the household but I can’t ignore what I heard about the pantang for the sake of the baby… #firsttimemom

I renovated the balcony and installed ceiling fans etc during my pregnancy. During the reno, just stay away, move to parents' place or smth because of DUST, and the DRILLING NOISE, which are bad for you and your baby. It is not because of other superstitious stuff. The whole reno took 2 weeks, and I went back right after it's done. My baby is already 1 year old now. All good.

Thank you for sharing! For now after speaking to my in law they decided to put the Reno to a halt for the moment, but if ever in dire need to Reno I’m more comforted to know that as long as I remove myself from the Reno mess that’ll have physical impact to my body, the rest are all just in the mind. - OP
