I helped my dad paint my dining room on Saturday. I am 23 wks. pregnant. Is this dangerous?
I have heard no from so many people and know many people who have painted while pregnant, but a woman at work kind of scared me. We had the windows open so there was plenty of ventilation and there really wasnt even a paint smell.

I am sure you will be fine as long as it was well ventilated

The paints arent made with the same chemicals they were long ago. I used Benjamin Moore which is lead free anyway. Plus I continously washed my hands and the room was well ventilated.
Really, I feel like it would be no different if I was sitting in my living room while they painted b/c I would still have the smell in my house.

You should be fine...I actually asked my doctor if I could paint since we had so much work to do on the house and she said yes...as long as it was well ventilated and I was careful.
No worries...you should be fine.

I've been told that it's perfectly okay as long as you aren't painting in enclosed areas on a regular basis.

Thank you guys for helping to make me feel better. I asked my parents and DH and they all said it was fine b/c we had the windows open. Plus I figured it was only one time. The chemicals can't be any worse than people who work in hair salons or in nail salons continously.

I painted 2 1/2 rooms while pregnant (felt really guilty - especially from comments from people) and DD is fine as can be!
