Hey guys, my oh was painting our rooms today and I was in and out all day the smell is so good I can't even DEAL.. But when I went to the toilet and stood up after I was done I had a really sharp pain in my lower abdomen that lasted about 10 seconds.. Is this from the fumes of the paint or is paint got nothing to do with it? I didn't even think about the paint fumes until I got that pain!

Was it just emulsion? Unlikely to be related

It’s not the paint fumes

I get this pain sometimes and it’s gas....honestly it’s sometimes so bad it’s crippling!

Obviously any other symptoms get checked over!

Nothing to do with the paint I’m currently redecorating the house 😁
Depends where the pain is could be muscular, could be lightening crotch. If you are concerned though just give the midwife a call

Yeah I'd say it was just muscular, I've had not a thing since lol, thanks 😍
