Gloss paint - 9wks?

I’ve just come home from work because they’ve been painting all the doors and skirtings with gloss paint....

I was in a separate office with the door closed but they painted all day yesterday as well, I could smell it but I was so busy I didn’t really think about it.

Today when I went it it was so strong I stayed for 2 hrs and came home.

Do you think there is any risk? NHS says unlikely risk avoid painting in first trimester and avoid high VOC paint which this was because it was gloss!

Has anyone got any experience with this or any more information references? Google just says avoid but I guess it’s a bit late now

Unlikely to cause any issue as modern paints are much safer in general than they once were. I wouldn't worry about it but I don't blame you for not wanting to stay around the strong smell.

Thank you that’s reassuring, feel a bit stupid coming home but can’t really ask them to stop just for me
