Is it safe to paint (latex paint) while 27 weeks pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More or (less): Inhaling fumes of any kind during pregnancy is best avoided. Oil based paints and enamels are a definite no-no during pregnancy. I am more concerned about ladder balance problems while pregnant more than the latex "fumes" perhaps it would be "less of a concern" if someone else did the work.
