Superstitions

Hi mommies, did any one of you visited reno site (for newly purchased flat) during pregnancy? There was no hacking at all though. I went when there wasn't any work carried out. However, i did went to visit the home for less than 10 mins to see the ongoing paint works. My mom kept saying cannot go see due to superstition of birth marks etc And it makes me really stressed and paranoid now. Any mommies did the same thing but baby turned out perfectly fine?

While I'm not a big believer in superstition, from a health point of view being I'm such conditions for a prolonged period can be unhealthy. 10 mins is not long and should have no ill-effects, nothing to worry about. As paint and reno sites have VOCs and dust, it is not good for your respiratory system. For further visits, can get them to make sure the venue is well-ventilated to reduce the risk.

Dont need to worry so much. No such thing. When I m on 8 weeks of pregnancy, I have a tv installation at home, they hack the wall and make 3 holes so can hang the tv ( i watched the entire process ). And now the baby is perfectly fine! Dont ever believe such nonsense

Aiya, superstitious is only folklores la. The more you believe it, the more it's gonna stressing you out, trust me. You see ang moh people, they also move things here and there while pregnancy, baby come out also nothing le.

My new house was under reno. My husband even fixed furnitures while i was beside him. I cut and sew and everything. Baby came out completely healthy. Sometimes it's really just superstitions.

Went before they start reno. During renovation my husband went up to take photos and show me. Now my LO is born then I go up and see
