Painting during pregnancy

Is it safe to use gloss paint during pregnancy? I’m 18 weeks and have done a bit of painting this morning. I was only doing it for about an hour or so. Can the fumes affect the baby? This only occurred to me afterwards!

Thank you, I hope so! I’ve opened the windows anyway to ventilate the room.

I always repaint when I’m pregnant for some reason, both my boys are perfectly fine

Yeah that’s fine providing you don’t obviously ingest it and keep the place well ventilated
