A member asked:

I did a homemade pregnancy test with bleach and accidentally inhaled it can it hurt my unborn baby and kids?

Unreliable test: Inhaling bleach is not likely to harm your baby, if you are pregnant, however the test you tried to cook up is not reliable. Get pregnancy test kit from a pharmacy and do the test with first morning urine and follow the instructions carefully. Only do the test, if you had sex since your last period and missed your period by 4-5 days.

No: The fumes may have irritated your own lungs, but inhalation of bleach fumes is not known to be associated with birth defects.
