Ingesting mold: I understand your concerns with ingesting mold, especially when pregnant. Please refer to the Brita manufacturers instructions regarding proper cleaning and maintenance of your filter. Likely, the amount of mold exposure you have had is very small, and not likely to cause illness for you or your baby. Please see your doctor soon, especially if you feel ill.
