Eight and a half months pregnant, recently the house had walls painted with paint. Can pregnant women smell paint fumes? Besides, the baby can move out in a month. I've been tidying up at home for a few days, is it okay to smell paint fumes?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, occasionally encountering smells during pregnancy generally will not cause significant interference, but it is recommended that the baby should not stay outside. It is advisable to avoid contact with harmful substances such as formaldehyde to prevent any interference with the baby. It is suggested to open windows frequently for ventilation, place many formaldehyde-removing plants in the house, and then move in after a period of time. Pay attention to prenatal check-ups and fetal care, self-monitor fetal movements, and maintain a left lateral position.
