What Are The Adverse Effects Of Clorox Fumes During Pregnancy?
I am 21 weeks pregnant and I cleaned using an all purpose cleanser containing Clorox bleech for the first time during my entire pregnancy. I cleaned out and disinfected two small sized walk in closets with poor ventilation without gloves. I spent approximately two hours and the whole bottle of cleanser in each closet over two days. My concerns are the overpowering fumes I was inhaling and the possible absorbtion of bleech through my hands into my bloodstream, did I harm my baby?

no need to worry as you are already 21 weeks gestation

from hands anything will not enter blood circulation
now go out in open area take slowly and breaths
