Are acrylic paints OK for pregnant women ?

Question: I am 5 months pregnant. I like working with acrylic paints and drawing paintings and pictures. Should I temporarily withdraw from my artistic hobby or is it all right for pregnant women to be close to acrylic paints ?

Answer: I think acrylic paints should be fine, but maybe just to be on the safe side, I'd wear a mask just so you're not breathing in the fumes. My doctor told me the worst thing to do is work with lead based paint, as it's toxic and can do harm to both me and my baby. If the fumes aren't bothering you, I can't see why you can't use them. It's safe to get acrylic nails done, so I can't see why acrylic paint would be a problem.. Check with your doctor if you're still unsure.
