I want to paint my front room this weekend ready in time for Christmas. I'll be almost 11 weeks. Is it safe to paint if I open the windows to get good ventilation?

I painted the bedroom today at 34 weeks! It’s fine as long as you’re using water based paint (most are) and open the windows.

Glad someone asked this as also interested. Painted downstairs hallway before I became pregnant. Now only week 6 but don't want to take any chances. However really want to paint upstairs and need to use same paint as they connect. Wondered about a mask maybe?
