Hello
its my first pregnancy. And thinking to done up the bathroom to be family friendly. But then came to realise about paint with lead and maybe all the chemicals during the work done. Which maybe harmful for the baby.
it’s not a DIY job, will be done by the professional.
I wonder anyone got similar experience? Wonder if there is any issue or will affect pregnancy if these kind of work done before giving birth. Anything need to pay attention ?

thanks!

i don't think they make lead based paint anymore if that helps.
if the work is being done by a professional some barriers can help reduce dust, and a fan can help with the air quality.
to help the paint dry well i would however wait till the weather warms up. professionals could use heat lamps i suppose.
either way i would do it and i doubt it would affect the pregnancy.
