I just smelled paint for 2 months after I got pregnant

The smell of paint is not only irritating, but also cannot be smelled for a long time, otherwise it will have a certain impact on our health. However, many times, homes need to be painted, or newly made furniture will inevitably have a paint smell. Ordinary people can just tolerate it, but pregnant women are in special circumstances and are more concerned about possible effects on the fetus. So, what should I do if I smell paint for 2 months after I became pregnant? Let’s take a look below.

Does smelling paint have any effect during early pregnancy?

Generally the impact is not significant, just don't smell the paint for a long time. It is recommended to pay attention to balanced nutrition during pregnancy, eat more vegetables and fruits, and ensure adequate intake of nutrients such as protein. You can appropriately supplement some vitamins and minerals, which is beneficial to the health of the fetus and mother. Another point is to pay attention to health care during pregnancy, get more rest and do appropriate activities. And go to a regular hospital for regular prenatal check-ups.

The following are some dietary taboos during early pregnancy:

First: drink less caffeinated beverages. The beverages we drink every day, such as tea, soda, and coffee, all contain caffeine, which can enter the fetus through the blood circulation between the mother and the placenta, causing fetal intestinal cramps, frequent fetal movements, restlessness, and even malformations.

Second: Some pregnant women have severe early pregnancy reactions in the early stages of pregnancy, which leads to poor appetite. They may frequently use condiments such as salt, MSG, and spices. Excessive consumption of these condiments is not good for pregnant women and fetuses. During this period, pregnant women can eat fruits rich in ascorbic acid such as citrus, dates, and hawthorn. It is also very important for pregnant women to supplement some calcium and fruits appropriately.

Third: Stay away from alcohol. Pregnant women need to stay away from tobacco and alcohol in the early stages of pregnancy. Alcohol and cigarettes are not only harmful to the body of pregnant women, but may also cause the risk of fetal growth retardation, neurological abnormalities, deformities, and intellectual impairment. Therefore, stay away from tobacco and alcohol.

Things to note when having sex during early pregnancy

From a medical point of view, sexual life during pregnancy is not prohibited. Healthy and moderate sexual life can not only greatly enhance the intimacy between couples, but also experience the joy of sexual intercourse, and it is also helpful in promoting the development of the fetus.

However, sexual intercourse during pregnancy is not suitable throughout the entire pregnancy. Except for sexual intercourse in the second trimester, will sexual intercourse in the early pregnancy have any adverse effects on the fetus? Many people suggest that pregnant mothers should try to reduce or avoid sexual intercourse in the early pregnancy. For expectant mothers, they are also very worried that having sex in the early stages of pregnancy will have a negative impact on the fetus. The reason why it is not suitable to have sex in the early stages of pregnancy is because this is a time when miscarriage is prone to occur, especially for pregnant women who are at high risk of miscarriage.

After a woman becomes pregnant, her demands for and responses to sex decrease due to changes in her endocrine system, early pregnancy reactions, and concerns about the impact on the embryo. Especially in the first three months of pregnancy, on the one hand, the placenta has not yet matured and the connection between the placenta and the uterine wall is not tight; on the other hand, the secretion of progesterone is insufficient and cannot provide strong protection for the embryo. Having sex at this time may cause miscarriage. Therefore, it is best not to have sex in the early stages of pregnancy.
