Hello ladies,

How is everyone?? now good new we get the keys to are new house today and we want to start painting but my OH seem to think i'm not aloud to breath in the pain fumes, i thought that was really silly but does anyone know??? thanks

I'm thnking you mean paint fumes

I'm a bit wary of any chemicals when preggers... if you don't have to be around it, don't be ( let oh do it ) Keep the windows open in that room and shut the door to get rid of the fumes as much as possible.

I would be inclined to get the breathe easy ones too.....

Paint fumes?
We just had a thread with a typo turn into a circus!

I'm not sure....but I plan on putting up a wallpaper and my doctor told me that it isn't good to breath in the glue.
Ask your midwife?

I asked this question a few weeks ago and from answers i got , its not ok to gloss but perfectly fine to emulsion walls.

Just keep windows open and becareful on step ladders ! I feel off over stretching.

Have fun decorating, we have just finished and im so pleased coz im fed up with it now ! xxxx

I haven't heard that you shouldn't but I bet they're more likely to make you feel sick/faint so best not to over do it, I guess.

if you cant convince him get somefume masks the polystyrene things people wear when spraying things with elastic thing for over your mouth adn nose and maybe he will be ok with it
hope you have fun (i did my oh painted pictures all over my top in the end **cough cough** paint fight lol)
