We are moving on my grandpas property to an apartment he has above his barn. It’s way bigger than my current place so I have more room for baby, and I have family nearby. I’m excited.

However, my dad and my husband are going to be replacing the flooring which is super old and were repainting it. Some other things too to make it clean and safe and feel brand new for us.

I’ll be 7-8 months pregnant at this point, I’m 5 months currently, and I’m wondering can I be around paint fumes? I want to help I’ll feel useless making them do everything when they both already have physically demanding full time jobs. It’s also on the 2nd floor, so a lot of carrying stuff up stairs.

Advice please.

I’m super excited to finally nest but I want to be helpful, not just bossing them around.
