I am pregnant and I am concerned about lead based paint. How harmful is

it if it has been painted over? We live in an older home (it was built in 1910). I had the house assessed for levels of lead. There are many walls that have it (deep down however). Geez, the people that owned it originally went to town with the lead paint. But the walls have been painted over a few times now. Are there any women that have been pregnant in older homes, and have had healthy children?
Thanks for sharing.
