Question 1

will a pregnant woman or her baby get sick if she does painting during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Maybe!: Many painting products are toxic and can potentially cause harm. Painting in a home is likely better left to other non-pregnant people.  If you must, use of a mask during painting is suggested.  Be sure the room is well ventilated during and after painting, and if possible use low-fume and rapid drying materials. 
Also, be sure to avoid direct skin contact with the paint as much as possible.

Question 2

30 weeks pregnant if i apply nail paints and use thinner will the smell harm my baby if i inhale? i heard pregnant women should not use nail paints.

Accepted Answer

Product safety issue: Generally speaking, the less product into or on your body during pregnancy the better off for your fetus. That being said if you want to have your nails painted i would recommend making it a rare and special event, not weekly, and choose a salon that will be sensitive to your pregnancy by making sure you are not breathing in fumes and using safer products (toluene free products, for example).

Question 3

is being around construction ok for pregnant women?

Accepted Answer

Dust and heavy lifti: If you are the crew than my advice is don't undertake any  job involving heavy lifting. Dust can be a problem, if there it is remodeling job on a old building then be careful about lead poising.  Apart from that I do not see any other harm.
