Can anyone let me know if I would be at risk for sleeping in a bedroom or being in a flat that has just been painted whilst 9 weeks pregnant. We recently went on holiday and had our whole flat painted, it was finished 3 days before we got back but since we have got back I have been worried about the exposure to being in it as I am only 9 weeks pregnant. The painter used oil and water based paints and I have heard exposure to the oil ones can be dangerous while pregnant but does anyone know the scale of the risk of whether the fumes are still being omitted now the paint is dry? We are keeping it well ventilated and I am sleeping with the window open but the smell is still incredibly strong! thanks for any advice.
