sanding and water-based poly while pregnant?
We are having someone sand and poly our floors with water based polyurethane, and I was wondering if anyone knew if it was safe for a pregnant woman to be living in the apt 2 days after the work is done? Is the sanding potentially harmful? Is the poly? Anyone know anything about this? Thanks

I’m no health guru, but I’ve got a can of polyurethane here and it reads, “WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.”
I moved into our place with newly sanded and poly floors with a 2 y.o. and pregnant w/# 2. All was fine just be sure to vent the place immediately after the work is done.
