[|AI|]  Hi, I understand your concern.  Lead exposure of a would be mother has various bad effects on the developing baby.like-Weakened bones, effect on development of brain (causing cognitive problems/ learning disabilities), babied tend to be underweight, prematurely born, developmental defects in later life.  Your house has an old lead paint, has started chipping. & needs patching off on.  I would insist that you should not be involved in painting activities. Even scraping for removal of old paint expose you to lead. So better stay away from such work. I feel as a newborns' arrival expected in the house soon. The complete painting work should be undertaken once for all with water color/ acrylic or tempera paints.  If you have been exposed for few times till now. You should continue with balanced nutritive diet containing sufficient calcium, proteins, omega three fatty acid, vitamin E along with other vitamins, minerals / have regular health check-ups .  Thanks.
