Hi all, I’ve just realised that the decorator has been using solvent paints to decorate the house in the last couple of weeks. I know that the NHS says not to paint with them in pregnancy - and I haven’t been using them directly myself but as I’m working from home I’m here all day!
I’m a bit worried now - I’ve been into the rooms he’s painting a few times, but not stayed longer than 10 mins but I’m panicking that I’ve caused some kind of damage. It’s been difficult to ventilate as the weather’s been so bad, but now the windows are wide open.
Am I overreacting? I'm 9 weeks and he's been decorating for 2 weeks - I've only just noticed that it's solvent paints
