I did too - we painted Gina's room, the spare room and the outside fence when I was over 7 months pregnant with her. And everything turned out OK so I'd say go for it]]> Wed, 30 Jan 2008 07:39:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13994&PID=289836&title=painting-while-pregnant#289836 <![CDATA[Painting while Pregnant. : Thanks everyone.Will make sur...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13994&PID=288649&title=painting-while-pregnant#288649 Author: Lou1972

You can get low odour paints which will be fine.

I refused to work in an area that was being painted at work and we bought the eco stuff for painting the nursery but DH did it. I'm probably a little more paranoid than most though.]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2008 20:27:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13994&PID=288574&title=painting-while-pregnant#288574 <![CDATA[Painting while Pregnant. : I did, we painted our bathroom...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13994&PID=288491&title=painting-while-pregnant#288491 Author: Shezamumof3

There's a Wattyls paint called 'Ecoproof' (I think) and it is designed to have no/very small fumes and safe for babies rooms so I guess that's OK for pregnancy too]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2008 18:51:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13994&PID=288482&title=painting-while-pregnant#288482 <![CDATA[Painting while Pregnant. : Using water based paints is OK...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13994&PID=288480&title=painting-while-pregnant#288480 Author: Millie1976

Using water based paints is OK but I would be careful with oil based paints - also ventilate like the others have said.]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2008 18:48:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13994&PID=288480&title=painting-while-pregnant#288480 <![CDATA[Painting while Pregnant. : I&#039;ve heard it just has to...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13994&PID=288472&title=painting-while-pregnant#288472 Author: JadeC
