Can i have my house fumigated at 33 weeks pregnant? i wont be at the house for the whole weekend while they fumigate will this be safe?

No problem: Any fumigation requires that the living creatures (human, pets) leave the house until the job is done and the chemicals are below toxic levels. Your baby has had all the critical timing for development passed and is now just gaining size. There will be no harm to you.
