My daughter wants to do some indoor painting and she's about 5 months
into her pregnancy. How dangerous are the latex paint fumes for this
situation? Is there any type of resonably priced mask that can filter
out these fumes?

I can't recall ever seeing any warnings regarding latex paint and pregnancy.
Oil yes, latex no.

For everyone's peace of mind and safety suggest that she ask her Doctor.

Probably also adequate to call the info/support phone number on the can.
Also ask about the appropriate resperator there as well

If you take what the government says, no, don't do it. But they scare you
about everything. Even cooking pork

You can get a mask

Those masks hide the odor, they do not filter the harful particles. You
would need a full respirator mask similar to this

But even this only reduces what you will take in, not be 100%
effective.
