painting?

is it out of the question? I know it's probably a dumb question but our landlords are making us paint the WHOLE inside of our house and I don't know if I am going to need to avoid my house for a couple days...

I read a while back that if you get paint with Low or No POV'S then it should be safe. I would google it or ask your dr as well.

This is what I have heard as well. When I was pregnant with DS I painted his room with No POV paint and it seemed to be ok, but we didnt paint the whole house either. I would still ask your Dr.

Thank you and I will google that, I've also read on some internet sites that paint no longer has led in it so pregnant women should be fine but it's not proven. I'm just so confused cause there are so many conflicting articles on pregnant women and painting

DW and I went to Home Depot the other day to look at paint and they have a new line of paint that has No Pov's, no scent and is "good for the earth". Just so you know..

Yeah, I think its probably illegal to sell lead-based paint anymore. So that should not be a problem, I think its the fumes (or POV) we have to worry about.

Oh I see, you were talking about the UV LEDS, I thought you were speaking of lead-based paint, sorry.

I heard to paint with Zero VOC paint....Is that the same as the non POV paint??!! I'm concerned now! Considering we just painted our kitchen and dining room last weekend with Zero VOC paint...
