Consuming moldy bread during pregnancy can potentially harm the developing fetus. The mold produces toxins called mycotoxins, which can cause a range of adverse effects including birth defects and miscarriage. Most types of mold are harmless, some can produce mycotoxins that may pose a risk to fetal health. Check your food carefully and ask your Obstetrician about this risk.
