Question:

Pregnancy and wall paint?

Im 6 months pregnant and we are gonna paint the house.what is the best and safe wall paint brand to use??. Please, any advise????

Answer:

just make sure there are plenty of windows open when you are painting, and you should be fine.
no paint is going to be 'good' for pregnancy. Hubby and I just got done literally painting the whole house over a 3 weekend time period and you just need to open all the windows for ventilation and stick a fan or two blowing in the direction of outside to suck the air outside. That is what we did.
The best type of paint to use would be latex water based paint. Avoid latex paints with solvents. Stay away from oil paint, leads, and mercury paints! Chose a paint with low VOC. A VOC under 50 is best. -Paint with a mask, it can be a little hard to breathe with it on so just take breaks, and get out the room every now and again. -The room needs to be well ventilated, open windows, turn on fans. -It's important to take breaks and get fresh air, this will also eliminate headaches. -Keep food and drinks away from area. Have fun!
