  • No, most of the paints now are almost scent free and it's the fumes that are bad for you when pregnant. I painted when I was pregnant, no problems, just make sure your room is ventilated.

  • You'll be fine. Many women paint while pregnant.

  • My hairdresser still dyed hair & did perms thru her whole pregnancy, so I can't imagine those fumes being much different than paint fumes. When in doubt, ask your Dr. But I'm sure you're fine. GL
