When preparing a house for painting it is best to remove all flaking peeling or checked paint. You want to remove the imperfect surface until you achieve a a smooth ground. This also means sanding areas where chunks have fallen, or peeled off in order to eliminate the visible transitions.

If you expose the base surface (wood or other) you should prime that area to seal the exposed surface.

How long do you wait to lay carpet after painting panelling?

You don't have to wait at all, but the paint should be completely dry. You don't want fibers getting stuck in the paint, particularly if it is a contrasting color. I would also be concerned about possible damage to the paint surface. The back of a new carpet is some nasty rough stuff that will strip off paint and skin faster than a grinder!

Can you paint and strip wallpaper while pregnant or will the chemicals hurt the baby?

Being a father of 5, I would not suggest ANY chemical. It can wait till Spring where the house can be well ventilated. KEVIN Stripping wallpaper can be done if you are using a steam stripper, and similarly you can use water based paints. I agree with Kevin about the chemicals though, and if using a sander to strip paint always wear the correct facemask. If you live in an old house you should check than any paintwork is lead free, and if you have leaded paint get it removed by a professional.
