No harm to Fetus

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Health care Magic Forum.
Touching bleach water will cause no harm to doveloping fetus . It is not absorbed that quickly and also has no known adverse effect on growing fetus. Please stay calm and don't worry. Take good care of yourself during pregnancy. Eat lots of green veggies and avoid areas of smoking to decrease exposure to second hand smoke. For your any other query please feel free to write, I will be happy to help.Regards Dr Manisha Jain.
