Painting And Pregnancy - Should I Worry? Posted: 05-28-05 01:53am
I am five months pregnant and was painting
in my living room - all windows open, all
doors open, and two fans going. About
half an hour into it, I realized I was
using oil-based paint. I quickly left
the house and didn't return for several
hours. My husband painted over it the
next day with primer and water-based paint
(i stayed away). Do I have anything to
worry about?

I think that because of the precautions
you took your baby will be just fine.
Just please dont sit in a room that has
heavy paint thinner fumes, or heavy paint
fumes for that matter. Not only could it
hurt the baby, you could loose a few brain
cells too. Lol

I think you'll be fine. Also with
painting they don't want you using a
roller as the up and down repetitive
movements can cause probs. Dont ask me
what, that's what my nurse and doc said..
