Hi,
Does anyone know of any risks damp and mold can have on a pregnancy? I know that no official research has been done, but I am concerned my bedroom is in a bad state of disrepair, and I am constantly fighting fatigue, chest and throat infections as well as water one's and this is from before I fell pregnant. I am now 32 weeks, and the baby was healthy and fine, but at 30 weeks his size had dropped from above the 50th centile to the 10th one! and now his growth is being closely monitored, with talks of induction!
Could this be because I have been so ill, and could that be due to the mold? The mold itself my partner cleans often but its on our mattress, (also the Moses basket now!) our clothes and grows inside the drawers and on my shoes, nothing is safe, we have damp mites in the bedroom, and beetles!. We are now sleeping on the sofa, and my health is starting to improve but I am so worried about my baby as this is my first pregnancy.
Any advice or input welcome, I have environmental health coming round next week to see what they can do.
Thanks
