Painting?

Question

I've been working on painting my daughters room today forgetting I'm pregnant. Is it safe to be painting? I'm almost 27 weeks. Also should mention the window was open with a fan!

Answer

They make paints with zero VOCs.  Make sure to use paint that has either zero or low VOCs and you should be fine as long as the room is well ventilated.

Answer

My midwife you shouldn't, but only because you can faint because of the smell. I think its no problem when you ventilate the room well. Did it too with my first and that went perfectly fine.

Answer

Perfectly fine. Paint now days has very low V.O.C. rating (the vapor rating). Almost any latex, water soluble paint is going to be perfectly acceptable. It's not the oil & lead based paint our parents grew up with.

Answer

I was told as long as the room was well ventilated then it was fine
