Is it safe to lay tile while pregnant?

Laying tile is a challenging but doable project; however, the physical demands of the work make this a project ideally suited for people without physical limitations during pregnancy.

Pregnant people should exercise caution when undertaking home improvement projects that may involve physical strain, chemical exposure, or other potential risks. While the occasional exposure to small doses of fumes from adhesives used in tiling poses negligible risk, prolonged breathing may be harmful. Additionally, if you plan to cut tiles, the dust produced carries serious respiratory risks and must be avoided entirely.
