We have a ton of projects going on, and I feel limited in how much I can help DH.
We moving DD into a bigger room and using her room for the baby. Both rooms need to be repainted.
If I get low-VOC paint (or whatever it is called), can I paint?
I have to say, I am also a better painter than DH so I would prefer to do it myself anyway.

We've used either low VOC or BM paints, I haven't even smelled at all, and we've painted the living room, office and nursery since I've been pregnant.
I think just leaving the windows open has helped too, wasn't really bad at all

I helped paint the nursery and our new bedroom with regular paint. I just kept windows open and fans on.
