Burning Eyes And Dizziness After Exposure To Bleach. Pregnant. Effect On Baby?

I am 18 weeks pregnant and was exposed to bleach for about 25 minutes. The ventilation was not great, and I was not wearing gloves. I was mopping the bathroom floor, bleach was diluted 1:10 solution. When I walked out, I became a little light headed, and my eyes burning, I then took a break and covered my mouth and nose the rest of the time. What effects will this have on the baby?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The short term exposure to the bleach that too only once is not likely to have any effect on your growing baby. Please do not worry. There is no expected danger for the baby.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
