A member asked:

I inhaled bleach fumes while cleaning and now feel really sick and i'm almost 10 weeks pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bleach inhalation: I assume this exposure is from household use. Most probably it is not going to harm you or the baby. But there is a chance people may develop asthma like symptoms. Drink plenty of fluid and get fresh air now and avoid recurrent future exposure,
