Is your wife giving birth to YOUR CHILD or a SPIRIT ? Stop believing in all this superstition.

Let me give you sound advice on this.

Go ahead with your planned renovations. Your wife and you should be involved in the overall colour scheme, material selection and furniture layout. The selection should include your new baby fittings but avoid all those mushy-mushy children's decor because your child will outgrow the cot and playthings very fast and you will be much wiser to spend the money on milk and diapers instead.

DO NOT allow your wife to visit the site during renovations. This is for her own safety. That is where all the old wives' tales come from. Probably, in the past, women who were pregnant got injured because of wanting to clean up or help out in the renovations. DO NOT allow her to be near areas where cement powder is flying aound, it will affect the baby inside her. Just make sure you keep her abreast of the renovation progress. She should visit the site only when the final cleaning and debris is cleared up by your contractor.

If you wait 6 months later to do the renovations, you will not be better off because when your child comes out, both you, your wife and the baby will be seeking attention. It is even worse to bring a baby along during renovations. Do as I say, and you will be alright.

Really depends on individual to belief. Some say believe, some say dont matter. Based on my personal experience, some are untrue. For instance chinese prefer red but depending on some Bazi, red is not a good color. Well, up to your belief.
