Do it! I had a painting business while pregnant with my 2nd and 3rd. Keep it well ventilated and if you have to use a step ladder make sure to stay cool up there. I swear it felt like I was on the sun when I was up on a ladder! Also, most paints now make their latex products with low VOC and I just finished a dresser and couldn't smell a thing! Prego nose and all!

Yes, sweetheart.  Open a window and run a fan, but it really doesn't matter that much with latex paint.  My perinatologist said the only way you can hurt yourself when painting a room is if you dipped your head in the paint.
