Q: Paint Fumes - Are They Bad For Pregnant Women?

My husband and I are painting the floor of our basement. I was just down there and we swept and mopped the floor first. I smellled a strong odor of something. Since I am 10 weeks pregnant we both thought that I shouldn't be around it. Is this true? I feel bad making my husband do the work all by himself. I want to help if I can.

Please reply! This is my first time on ehealth. I have lots of questions!!!

Thanks!!
