PregnantpaintingDon’t stop at spring cleaning this season! Now is the perfect time to turn on the radio, open the windows and bring your vision for baby’s nursery to life. Ideally, you’ll recruit your partner or a friend to get color up on those boring white walls. But if the task falls to you, it’s best to follow these steps to minimize your exposure painting while pregnant:

  • Make sure the area is well ventilated, and use a fan for added circulation.
  • Take frequent breaks to breathe in some fresh air.
  • Keep food and drinks in another area, so they don’t become contaminated.
  • Wear protective clothing, including a long-sleeved shirt, pants, gloves and a mask.
