Very worried about paint fumes
| Thu, 09-18-2003 - 9:59am |
AF arrived yesterday on CD23/10dpo (a bit early) after days of spotting and so I thought I'd take advantage of "not being pg" and paint the bathroom. DH has been doing all the painting, but he's out of town so I thought I'd surprise him with putting on the last coat. Well, AF stopped and left Spot a couple hours later and I debated whether to paint or not. I finally decided to go for it because I am so tired of leading my life as if I might be pg only to see AF. And since AF had already arrived and left, and I've been thru this enough to know that Spot means the cycle was unsuccessful (for me), I went for it.
However, AF did not arrive today and my temp went up a tiny bit today. It never does that once it starts going down. Now I'm worried that if I am pg, what harm did I just do? Now I'm hoping this cycle does fail because I don't want to worry about any potential birth defects. I've read that paint fumes "probably aren't harmful" but does anyone have any more info?
Thanks

I would not worry if I were you, that early there is not much that can really affect the pregnancy since it is the early stages that most women aren't even aware they are!
If you are really freaking out, I would try to find information either by calling doc or paint company directly.
Good luck.

Look up your paint on the net and see?
This is all probably moot because I'm sure AF will come again, but now I feel much better today, while waiting to see what my body is doing.
Thank you!!!

You're fine, don't fret anymore ok? As for calling the paint company, I think they'll just give you more to think about and make you more confused. You're fine, enjoy life ok?
(PS, my dad was in the paint business for over 35 years)
