Between apple skin and apple i took a bite and there is a green fuzzy area....could this be mold? i am 25 weeks pregnant, can the baby be harmed?

Digesting mold: The short answer is no, because most "molds" are immediately neutralized by stomach acids and are unlikely to cause harm to your pregnancy. It is always best to cut open fruits in slices where the insides can be visualized, however. Although apparent "mold" may appear potentially dangerous, the overwhelming majority are harmless.

Relax: likely "bruise" in apple. Won't harm baby (even if ot were mold)
