Stripping walls when pregnant

[MummyLE]

Just wondering if it's safe to strip walls when pregnant? We've recently moved into a house that hasn't been decorated since the 70s and I've heard things about lead paint etc.

I'll be using a steamer and I'll probably wear a mask and gloves to be on the safe side. Will just be OK?

Thanks x

Use the masks with filtration vents on them, keep rooms well ventilated and you should have minimal risk.
I painted our house when heavily pregnant with our 1st and had no issues.
If there was a confirmed presence of toxic materials I would employ a specialist pregnant or not but most things will be low risk to you and baby.

Thank you x

Lead paint tends to be found on woodwork less so on walls. Don't sand any old doors etc, pregnant or not, if there's a chance of lead paint.
