Is it allowed to paint a Celing in my new home with nontoxic paint when I'm 20 weeks pregnant?? I would like to use Behr paint I think is the best. It has really low VOC. All the smells of paint and some are much worse than others. I worked for Home Depot and took weeks of classes. They compared all of the paintings from one another. Behr was the best. I had many women ask me the same thing. No one came to say a bad thing. Having someone to paint it and stay out of the room for 8 hours. I believe that formaldehyde was the chemical that was bad. Behr did not.
The paintings of twenty years ago it was said years ago safe.Fifty lead paint have been said to be safe. Do you see a pattern here? I think pregnant women should not be around ANY paintings. Whatever the factory said. A baby is too precious to take a chance ..
What the warning label on the paint can say? Or ask a technician at paint store. If still in doubt error on the safe side and consult your doctor.

Why do you do? Are not you afraid you dizzy and fall and hurt the baby? If you decide to do anyway, PLEASE be careful. Grams
