As long as it's well ventilated, doors open, and keep your bedroom door closed you'll be fine :) If anything, let your hubs do the primer!

As long as it's not lead based paint. (that's where the idea of pregnant women can't paint comes from) Keep it well ventilated & you'll be fine. I helped paint our whole house at 15-16 weeks because we moved to a bigger house for baby. My little one is measureing ahead & is healthy as can be at 29 weeks today.

if it's latex paint, try not to inhale much of it or get it on your skin. take frequent breaks and make sure you have fans going/windows open.
