May I paint or use pesticides in my home?
 
  The safest answer is to leave these projects for someone else.  Latex paint is generally considered to be safe, if applied in a well-ventilated area.  However, painting projects may expose you to other chemicals that may be more hazardous to your baby wuch as heavy metals in paint pigments, resins, solvents, extenders, etc.  Pregnant women should avoid contact with pesticides.  If this is not possible, they should not re-enter the treated area for 24 hours after a pesticide has been applied.
