Hello,
Bleach agents can harm an unborn baby. You should limit your use of these chemicals and take protective measures when you use them. If you vomit and have any other symptoms go to hospital. Meantime stay in fresh air and drink a lot of liquids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
