Decorating

Looking for some advice please- I’m 4 weeks 5 days pregnant and was half way through decorating my downstairs when I found out! There’s conflicting advice about the safety of decorating (mainly painting) when pregnant. Has anyone continued with it? Or do you safety precautions when doing it? Thanks!

If you’re in a well ventilated space (open the windows) it shouldn’t be a problem at all.

Thanks Abbie!

I painted my kitchen when I was 30 weeks pregnant. I made sure all windows were open and I popped into the garden every so often because pregnant or not I hate that smell up my nose😂

😂 I weirdly enjoy the smell haha but that’s great thanks for the advice!

I've painted and decorated the nursery at 32weeks pregnant... loved doing it, almost started repainting the whole house ( my husband had to stop me😅)

Haha honestly I still have 2 rooms to fully decorate and I just can’t leave them I’m going to want them done and then there’s the nursery 😂. I think I’ll have to be slowed down too haha! Thanks for the advice!

I painted the whole house at around 26 weeks pregnant as we had just moved, my baby is 7 weeks now and happy and healthy!

Aw that’s lovely to hear thank you!
