29 weeks so many concerns Mood
Sunday, October 11, 2009 | An Anxious story

So i'm now 29 weeks prego.  I'm really feeling stressed about all the things "they" say you can't do and can't have while prego.  

 

We bought a house  a couple months ago and are now renovating it.  There is lots of work to be done and not much help at all.  Basicly just hubby and I doing the work and we don't have the money to hire help.  

 

So i'm trying to be careful about what I do and how I do it.  I am a very hard worker and i'm not used to not being able to do anything.  I bought a respirator so that when i'm around dust and fumes I will be protected but i find myself paranoid and worried that in this process I could hurt the baby. 

 

If I went by everything the internet says I would shut myself in a steril room and never leave.  So I just don't know what to think.  

 

The next project I need to work on is sanding painted wood trim.  And I know lead paint is a concern (don't know if  there is lead paint or not)  So i don't know if i should do it or not even with the respirator.  And than am i ok to take the mask off when I leave the room or should I have the mask on the whole time I'm in the house.  

 

On top of all this I have gall stones and have been put on a very low fat diet to control attacks.  So i'm constantly trying to figure out what I can eat and what to eat at every meal.  

 

Feel like everything in my life is a big question and hoping I make all the right decisions.

    I would check with your doctor if you're at all concerned. You have to be VERY careful around lead paint, I wouldn't take the chance if you don't know...even with a respirator. Who knew that pregnancy was a 24/hr a day job! Hang in there! You're getting SO CLOSE!

    I wouldn't take chances at 29 weeks. It's only a few more and that little one will be here. That little on'es lungs are trying to develop I would stay away from anything that jeopardize their development. That sanding can wait besides you should be resting and getting ready for the babies arrival. XO :)

    I wish it were that simple Jenn. If the house doesn't get done with construction soon I will have to move into it with the construction going on and that I don't want to do. We can only swing rent and a morgage for so long. It's really hard. I wish I wasn't in this situation and that I had a life of luxury where i could just put my feet up and rest. Of course that is the ideal way to spend your pregnancy. The baby will be here before you know it and I'm just hoping I have a home to bring him home to not a construction zone with no bathroom. time is ticking.
