Please tell me I didn't harm the baby...

Okay, my doctor told me at my point in pregnancy - that painting is okay (29 weeks). All I did was paint the trimming in 2 1/2 rooms on and off all last week and I wore a mask most of the time. Now the man in Aboff's told me it is hazerdous to the baby and not even to be near the house. Then I was in home depot today just getting a can of bug spray for DH since I couldn't be around the paint and an employee got pretty upset with me for even being in that isle looking for it. I am not going near the paint - but should I be concerned that I harmed my little girl? Chat Icon Chat Icon

I was told by my doctor no painting and no bug spray.
You wore a mask and it was well ventilated right? other girls on here have painted and they are fine. Dont worry, if you feel strongly now about it dont do it anymore let your DH do it. Chat Icon

OK, I'm not sure, but I think latex paint is OK. I'm sure Chat Icon is OK. Your doctor wouldn't have told you it was OK it it wasn't. Chat Icon

Thanks. That is what my friend told me as well - the windows were open. I just feel so low and so guilty right now.Chat Icon

We painted our nursery while I was waiting to give birth...I only watched and the house did smell of paint. And my baby was born fine, all 11 toes and 13 fingers!

Don't worry about it!

I wouldn't worry about it. I helped paint our nursery and I have no concerns over it.

Honestly, I just wouldnt have done it.
I am unsure why the doctor okayed it. The paint reads that it is not good for if you are preggo. I am not your doctor as doctors say so many various things but I would be careful when using paint or anything toxic in general.

I painted the nursery plus another room in the house while PG. My doc said it was fine as long as the room was ventilated.
