Will a 50 g/l voc interior paint harm pregnancy after half hour of exposure with no ventilation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually harmful: Water based paint is a respiratory irritant. While it may cause nausea and headaches, a short exposure such as yours should not be harmful to your 20 week pregnancy. A more urgent problem may be the old paint that was originally on the wall as many of these contained lead. Make sure you were not exposed to dust from wall refinishing. If you were, consult your Dr for lead testing.
