22.5 weeks pregnant here. Last night oh used bleach in the bedroom to clean the walls with. Bleach diluted with lots of water. He opened the windows and aired the room out for about three hours before bed. It didn't smell to strong just a little hint. Worried it'll hurt baby though

You didn't drink it did you?

Nothing you've said will harm your baby. You breath in more poisons sitting in a car/walking down the street.

Don't get this, sorry! I've been cleaning with bleach throughout both my pregnancies. Unless you drink it or snort it, surely there's no issue?

There's no risk. None. Honestly. Stop worrying.

You and the baby will be fine. I don't know anyone who stopped using bleach in pregnancy and all their babies are fine. If there was any risk the midwife would tell you not to use it.

My mum actually did accidentally drink bleach when pregnant with me (small amount and diluted but still definitely consumed bleach!!) and I've turned out fine
