I did lots of painting when I was pregnant with my first, pretty much my whole house I painted. I only painted with water based paints and made sure we had the windows open and took breaks often, kept the doors shut to the rooms that I had painted while we slept. I am pretty sure I would have looked it up at the time to be sure it was a safe thing to do.

I think it's all part of nesting...I just wanted everything to be perfect and have a beautiful room for the new baby too.
