I painted my sons room when I was pregant last time and I just finaihed helping my husband paint our next sons rooms, I'm 28 weeks, we just have the house fully open and the paint they make now is very low fumes, you can't even smell paint once it's dryer, I wouldn't worry too much, I read posts on her everyday about mums who take drugs and smoke everyday while pregant I don't think painting once is anywhere in comparison to that

Depends on how well the house is ventilated and what type of paint. You can buy paint that is very low fumes etc.

yes! Yoyousnnot be around Them At all, you actually have to leave the house until they're finished painting and you can't return until the fumes are all aired out. That's what the Doctor recommend
