HG mold spray and first trimester

hi,
noticed some mold in our en-suite bathroom and so my husband cleaned it using the HG mold spray. I am 4weeks and 4 days pregnant was my second child. I was nowhere near when it was being cleaned, but it made the whole of upstairs smell! We aired it out and windows have been opened all day particularly in the en suite and bedroom (done at 9:30 this morning).
It no longer smells in our bedroom and still smells a bit in our en-suite despite being aired out almost 12 hours! I've tried to stay out of the bathroom/bedroom but obviously need to be in the bedroom to sleep! but will keep the door to ensuite closed.
will the smell have affected my unborn baby at all? i also worry as my toddler often ends up in our bed at night so dont want her breathing anything in but there's no smell in our room now!
am i stressing over nothing? has anyone else used or been around the HG mold spray during pregnancy?

No it won’t have an impact anymore than any other issue such as general pollution etc. At that stage it’s got its own sack, not that it would be bad if it was later.

Do you have good support, someone you can speak to about things like this to reassure you? If you need some further proof do you have access to proper scientific peer reviewed papers? What do you think the pathways would be to cause an issue? I don’t want to be patronising, just trying to think how best you would be reassured.

Thank you for this!
only my husband at this stage (who doesn’t understand the stresses and anxieties of being pregnant, but is also very supportive and caring) as it’s so early on we’ve only recently found out so no family/friends know yet!
I had all these worries with my 1st but didn’t have mold issue then so it’s a new worry!
it’s also too early to register my pregnancy in the area I live so I cannot even contact a midwife about any concerns currently! I’m sure everything will be fine I just stress lots but just wanted to know if others had used it since it’s quite strong compared to others I think!

Omg I didn’t even consider this and I’ve just been round the house with the cilic black mould spray. I checked the bottle (afterwards) and it doesn’t have any warnings but does it say it releases chlorine which I can definitely smell.

Hi OP- I remember having this exact panic about HG mould spray when I would have been around 8 weeks pregnant. I was moving house and we had a couple of stubborn spots in our totally unventilated bathroom. The baby was totally fine, she's 3 now. I understand exactly how you feel but please don't lose sleep over this, the chance that this has affected your baby is pretty much zero.
