A member asked:
Is it possible for moldy food to harm my unborn baby if i breathe it in?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There's nothing to suggest this is true. Today we are much more concerned than we were in the past about alcohol, tobacco and drugs affecting the unborn child. But you cannot allow yourself to become afraid of everything that you will normally meet in the course of your life. Congratulations to you as a mother-to-be. Be discerning.
