Paint fumes. 25 weeks

4 replies

But anxious as I was around paint. I kept the room well ventilated and kept going out for fresh air. I’m not sure if the paint was solvent based but it was very strong and wasn’t around it for very long. I did read that solvent pain poses a greater risk. I’m now panicking. Anyone offer advice? Or am I being silly?

Youll be fine. Have a strong cup of tea to calm down.

OP, if a few paint fumes were enough to cause a problem with pregnancy, hardly anyone would manage to have a baby at all.

You're worrying about nothing and you need to take some deep breaths and calm down.

You are right to be concerned but you'd need to expose yourself to prolonged exposure to paint solvents for it to have caused any effects. The fact that the room was ventilated and you wasn't around the paint for long indicates you'll be fine.

It was twice this week maybe for about an hour or so
