Pregnant-Cleaning mouldy shower drains?

I’m currently 14 weeks pregnant.
my shower drain hasn’t been cleaned for about 4 weeks as I’ve been feeling so tired lately.
anyway I cleaned it today. There was a load of hair along with black/green goo. Not sure if it was mould or not.
i used method spray on it and wiped it out with toilet roll, then rinsed it off.
the window was open but I didn’t use gloves.
has anyone else cleaned their shower drain or mouldy shower when pregnant? I’m worried it may have done the baby some harm. Any advice appreciated!

Do you usually worry about these kind of things OP? I'm a bit Confused at someone worrying about a mouldy drain and some mild cleaner when pregnant.

Wait till you hit the nesting phase op and what you will be looking to clean😂😂😂 my place was never as spotless as my third trimester, and I used the hard core cleaning products. I now have two healthy toddlers and soon will have number three despite my exposure to fumes, mould and god knows what else so you don’t need to worry!!!

Absolutely fine and those method cleaners aren’t very strong.

Echoing @Yummymummy2020 though….third trimester it will be all systems go. I’m 31 weeks. My house is sparkling using every product known to man…..I do try and be good and wear gloves now though…….I’ve also decluttered every square inch….I have a skip on the drive (amazing)….to be honest if my DH doesn’t nail himself down soon he may well end up thrown in it also😂. Pretty certain he thinks I’ve lost the plot!

Hope you have a lovely remainder of your pregnancy! X
