Hi ReganKate....I'm replying just to say 'Hi' vs. having anything useful to say :lol:

I would think it would be Ok provided there is plenty of ventilation, I don't think toxic paint is used domestically anymore but the fumes might still give you a headache which you can no longer pop an advil for.

Lovely to still see you on the board. I've just rejoined (see my June Cycle Buddies thread). Hooray for you. Glad to hear you've made 14 weeks already.

Take care. Perhaps your MD could help, plus the OB's office maybe? I know lots of pg women decorate nurseries etc. so it can't be completely banned.

love, Debra.
