Girl, I painted 9 rooms of my house when I was pregnant with my last child. She is brilliant (she can do simple sign language and she's already talking at 10 months old). What you're reading is correct! Minimal exposure with adequate ventilation is fine!!!
I just got done priming and painting my hubby's office and we're trying to have another baby. I was not worried one bit about the fumes. They make fume-free paints, or paints from all natural ingredients if you are still freaked out.
From what I understand, you would have to be sitting a fume-filled room for hours on end for it to begin to affect baby. Long term exposure is when you should be worried. Hanging out at your mom's for a few hours should be just fine!
thank you so much!! i am reassured now!
