Worried about how smells in my situation will affect my first trimester

Need Advice

For a while, my husband and I have been talking about trying to get pregnant, and we were considering trying within the next few months. I also recently started a job where certain aromatics are involved and it’s just part of the job. Im very worried that if we carry out our plan and everything works out and we do get pregnant this summer the smells at work are going to be an issue for me. All of my sisters have had rough trimesters and have been very sick and worried it might be the same for me.

I’m wondering if it might be better to wait a few months before trying to convince. The challenge is that, if we wait until fall, due to the nature of my husband’s work, he wouldn’t be present at the birth. We‘re in our 30s and don’t want to put this off another year.

Should I take the plunge and deal with the smells and potentially Be miserabl? or have a more comfortable trimester and a more chaotic birth? (That is if everything works out to these timelines, I realize they might not and this post is a mood point)
