Painting my garden fence? 6 weeks pregnant

Hi lovely people
We have got some cuprinol ducks back paint for our new garden fences I'm dying to get stuck in and not leave it all to my other half but not sure if it's safe! I'm 6 weeks pregnant

It doesn't say anything on the tins, has anyone else done this or spoken to the midwife about it?

Thanks in advance xx

I'm 38 weeks pregnant and have been doing all sorts of DIY all over the house ever since I found out and everything is fine. If you're worried, buy a proper mask to protect you further from the fumes.

It's fine. I did 10 panels at 16 weeks. There wasn't any fumes from the paint that I noticed, plus you're outside so they just escape anyway.

I thought this just needed a little reassurance, thank you.
