According to my pregnancy app, breathing in strong paint fumes, especially oil-based ones, isn't recommended during pregnancy. It is best to stay in a well-ventilated room or shift to another room till the smell completely goes away. Keep checking your tracker for weekly safety tips, they are super helpful!
Ugh, I am in my 3rd trimester and even the smell of normal food is making me dizzy, let alone paint! Seriously, avoid it if you can because it can trigger bad headaches and nausea. Let your husband do all the nursery planning while you rest in another room.
When our house was getting painted, my MIL immediately sent me to my mom's place for a week. She said strong smells are not good for the baby, and honestly, even I couldn't stand that sharp smell. Better to stay away from the rooms being painted.
Yaar, actually that strong paint smell can give you a massive headache and make you feel super nauseous. When we renovated our flat, I stayed at my friend's place for a couple of days. It's just not worth the irritation, trust me.
Don't panic if you just smelled it for a little bit, but try to avoid it as much as possible now. Keep all windows open for proper ventilation and let the rooms dry completely before you sleep there. Your health and comfort come first, dear.
