    Unhappy Office renovation during pregnancy

    Hi all!

    I just found out I'm pregnant and I'm currently in the 5th week.

    My ENTIRE office building has been under renovation from the past several months (still going on). And I just moved into a newly-renovated room. It's a co-working space and they haven't done any test to see if the level of chemicals is above the limit. Plus it's an old industrial building that might use lead-based paint.

    I'm totally freaked out. Is there anyone who has similar experience can give me some advice?

    Thanks!

    Congratulations on your pregnancy!

    Are the fumes quite strong? Johnson Group provide a VOC removal service. Or you can buy the spray and do it yourself

    If you have a window in your office you can ask the mgt to open it for you. They normally have a master key and can lend it to you or open it for you every morning.

    Another option is to ask if you can work from home for a few days until the smell dissipates.

    Best of luck!
