I found mold in a bathroom in my house i rarely used. the mold was black in color. i'm 10 weeks pregnant. worried about it affecting the baby?

Child yes; fetus no: Household mold is one of the common causes of allergies, including asthma, in children. Even if you don't use that bathroom often, get rid of the mold. There are a number of cleaners that work. If they fail, there are professionals who will get rid of it. It won't affect the fetus, but act now while you have the time.

I'm an anxious person. If I touched possible semen on a railing in a house and touched myself afterward using the bathroom. Could I possibly get pregnant this way? It would go from the rail to my hand then to the bathroom. This occurred in minutes?
