Pregnant and painting

I am 25 weeks and tomorrow or wednesday we will be painting the adittion on our house. I have been told that it is ok to paint and it is not ok to paint while pregnant, so i need opinions. The room we are painting is a medium sized room and we will have fans going and both windows open as well so there will be air circulation. I called my doctor office earlier to ask them but they havent returned my call yet so i am asking you wonderful ladies.
Is it ok to paint a medium sized room while 25 weeks pregnant?

I was told by my doctor it's okay if the room is well ventilated, which it sounds like it will be. Just make sure if you get light headed or anything take a break and get some fresh air. I painted the nursery when I was pregnant with my daughter, she is fine and I just painted the new room for this baby last week. It was like it needs to be done so I gotta do it. As long as you feel up to it and take a break of you need one, I say go for it.
