Hi there,

I am an artist and painting (with oils) is one of my main sources of income. Do anybody know if the oil paints can be dangerous while pregnant? I take precautions like using orange oil based thinner (very low toxicity) and wearing rubber surgical gloves. I don't paint everyday, only a couple times a week for anywhere from 3 to 9 hours. I'm still not sure if I am pregnant but I am a day over now and have some of the signs though they could be stress as a result of other things. I'll keep you all posted.
