Is Exposure To Spray Paint During Pregnancy Harmful?

I am 35 weeks pregnant and was exposed to spray paint. My hubby needed help looking at and touching up a project for the nursery. I tried to stay upwind and covered my face with cloth. I know I inhaled some of the fumes. Now I am worried...should I be?
