Hello, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. I think inhalation of bleaching for small times not give any trouble in future for the foetus., because this small inhalation may be come in circulation but this level is not problematic for your baby. Everyday in air we inhales pollutants more than that. So don't worried so much, take fresh fruit and more water everyday. Thanx.
