Staining a deck?

Question

I’m 6 weeks pregnant. We desperately need to stain our deck, it’s smaller only about 200 square feet and a beautiful sunny fall day with a light breeze. So it would be plenty ventilated. Do you think I’m okay? Thoughts?

Answer

Hi! Professional painter here! You really should NOT be staining while pregnant!! 
Although since you'll be outside, if you do, please please wear a mask!

Answer

I wouldn’t

Answer

I actually asked my Dr about a similar situation as I could not put off a remodel for months. I was told to wear a mask and make sure to have a ton of ventilation so a deck should be fine. Also take breaks and don't over exert yourself. I remodeled in my third trimester so exhaustion was a big factor in what I could do.
