Art and Pregnancy—HELP

[Mom1234]

Hi there,

I am currently 16 weeks pregnant. Before pregnancy, Art was a big part of my life. I recently finished a project for a gift for my husband and unfortunately and worried about some of the products I used. I sculpted and baked a clay figure, and painted it with Acrylic paint. He loves it very much and it looks great! Here are the products I used:

Sculpey clay (says non toxic but unsure of the fumes when it’s baked.)

Acrylic water based paint.

The one I’m worried about the most: Gorilla glue—I used this twice. I had a mask on while using it but after reading the warning on the back now I’m paranoid about it... I did not smell any fumes due to the mask, but still am very worried as it states that it causes birth defects. EEK!

I will be talking to my OBGYN next week. Been told by family and my husband not to worry, but would love a little feedback! Thankyou.

Hiya, dear. You shouldn't be worried too much, indeed. Your worries doing you worth than that glue with which you even weren't in direct contact. You did right that used the mask.
