A member asked:
Can i be around paint fumes during my pregnancy? we're repainting our house so can i help my husband?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Latex paint, Yes: Latex paint is water based and soap washable and generally does not produce "fumes" that can harm a pregnancy after the first trimester. I would not expose the pregnancy to oil based paint fumes during any trimester of the pregnancy. I would wear a mask if helping paint with your husband as a further precaution and again not during the first trimester of pregnancy.
