8 wks pregnant, was throwing up in the toilet and noticed some black stuff at the top of the toilet. of course i grabbed a scrubber and cleaned it. now i googled that it was black mold and i shouldn't clean it pregnant. did i hurt my baby?

No. You did not hurt yourself or your baby. Black mold spores are normally in the air. When a person is exposed to excess amount of black mold, some people develop lung disorder. Do attend antenatal visits with your doctor regularly. Wish you good health and a healthy baby.
