Default OK to remodel kitchen when the wife is pregnant?

I need to replace the cabinets, countertops, and replace the vinyl
flooring with tiles in the kitchen. Is it safe to do so when the wife
is 8 weeks pregnant? I won't be re-painting the kitchen, but what
about the dust and other things that might be airborne during the
remodeling? I expect it to take about 2-4 weeks, depending on how fast
the contractor can do it. I have most of the needed stuff in the
garage already (taking up space which is one reason I want to get it
done now) This is a single story home and the heater will be OFF
during the entire time.

I'd just like to get this done before moving on to more pressing
matters. but if it's a really bad idea, then I don't have to do it.
Or I may have her stay with relatives during that time if it's OK to
do it only if she's not present during the entire operation...

I wouldn't take the chance. The fact that you sense danger, you know
it better than any other person could tell you otherwise.

If you make a mistake, you may have to live with your sick child for
the rest of YOUR life.
