I am 36 weeks pregnant and i have been exposed few times to paint while my husband was painting the nursery room. Could it harm my unborn baby?

Question

Answer

I literally just painted this bed white, and 4 coats of it, then sprayed it with high gloss, and I'm 26 weeks, as another comment says, most paints or sprays these days are safe to use and are low voc. Just take frequent breaks outside if you are going in and out, took me 3 days to paint this as I kept taking breaks away from the job but I got there in the end :)

Answer

Alot of paint on the market today is considered low voc. If your Using a low voc paint and have ventilation in the room / house then your baby is jusy fine.

Answer

My doctor said it is okay to paint with latex paint, just make sure the room is well ventilated. I painted the nursery with my husband 2 weeks ago.

Answer

Definitely make sure the paint you use is low VOC

Answer

As long as it isn’t oil based paint, you should be fine. I recently painted my 13 yr olds room with no issues.

Answer

You should be fine. It might give you a headache though. I would put up some box fans.
