So I'm 31 weeks pregnant and last night me and my partner found some mould in the corner of our bedroom so today while hes at work I took it upon myself to get the mould paint out and clear the problem up, only thinking afterwards that it may be bad to have done so, as far as I've researched it's a water based low VOC paint, I only painted a small section of the room and have the door open for ventilation but I cant stop worrying that I've done something bad for me and baby, just looking for reassurancethat I'm just being a silly paranoid mama TIA

You're fine. It won't hurt baby at all. I'm 26 weeks and have spent every night this week with a paintbrush in my hand and not even given it second thought.

Thanks for responding! I'm trying to convince myself I'm being silly 😂 I should probably stop googling, might help Haha

Definitely fine

I just painted a small area of my hallway and I'm 33 weeks. Apart from the fact my back feels like it is on fire, no harm done!

You should be more concerned about the mould..... that stuff isn't too nice to inhale.

Oh I definitely was concerned about the mould which was why I cleaned and painted it without a second thought, it's only after i questioned myself if I should have waited and got the partner to do it, thanks for responding! I'm already starting to feel a little better

My DD2 is 36 weeks and has just decorated an entire house (with her Dad' and husbands help at times) And moved in....

All fine and she's starting on the garden this week Grin

I'm so glad! I know it's silly to get anxious over this stuff but knowing that doesnt stop it happening 😂 thanks for replying 😊
