Depends on the paint and if you are past your first trimester. Also, if any old paint needs stripping you should avoid that.

We just got a new house and the whole place needed decorated and i helped out a fair amount and I'm still pregnant so I think it's ok

Thank you!
I will be about 5 months by the time we get around to doing the painting.

It should all be water based but will check what the paint contains

Thanks
