paint during 3rd trimester

[NikisMom]

hi there. im nearly 35 weeks pregnant and this weekend my mom is coming over to paint the nursery. I wont be in there with her but rather in another part of the house. Im wondering if anyone has any advice on fumes and pregnancy.
Thanks

I think it's fine as long as you're not exposed for a long time. I was about that far along when DH decided to paint our dining room. I just stayed in the back of the house. Have her keep the door closed and open the window and you should be fine.

Good question! I have some painting for my siblings to do later this summer and was wondering if I can be in the house, or if I should leave and go shopping....

Latex paints are okay, but oil based paints are not.

Latex paints are okay, but oil based paints are not.

that's what i would say.

My H has just painted our en-suite and i just stayed out of the room. He closed the door and opened the window.
