Is painting the walls harmful to pregnant women?

Patient's question:

My partner is three months pregnant. Recently, our company provided us with a set of housing. Just to ensure the child's health, I was thinking of doing some simple painting or wallpapering. I'm not sure if the paint contains any harmful substances for pregnant women???(Paint is definitely not usable, right???)

Doctor's answer:

If the painted walls are coated with porcelain-like paint, they are generally harmless to the human body. If wall paint is used to paint the walls, as long as the quality of the paint is qualified, the harmful substances will usually dissipate within a few days. Generally, doctors will advise women with signs of reproductive health risks to maintain a balanced diet and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
