I am 4months pregnant, and i accidentally left a cup of apple juice by my bed while i went on vacation and?

as i was cleaning my room i noticed it, and it had red, and green, and tiny specks of black mold all in the cup...do you think i could have harmed myself by not noticing it and sleeping in my room last night?

1. As long as you didnt drink it you should be fine.
2. no.
3. no not at all its just juice mold.
4. No, you and the baby will be fine. You would only need to worry if you drank it like that.
5. no, you should be fine
6. no i think you are ok
7. More than likely, no.. Sounds like you are very worried. You need to calm down and enjoy your pregnancy. You have a lot MORE to worry about afterwards. Calm down. :) and congratulations!
8. No. It just means you had a science project going on in the cup. Relax, as long as you didn't drink any you'll be ok.
9. Nope, not that small of an amount ... I freaked out at 24 weeks because I accidentally inhaled bug spray! (trying to kill a spider) and the doctor said that the fumes we inhale are not nearly as strong to the fetus .. and especially with that mold being in the cup .. it wasn't out in the open like on the walls. good luck! God bless!
10. It amazes me to see questions like that here....why dont you call your doctor? If you are 4 months pregnant you should be seeing one at least once a month.
11. you will be fine
12. no. i think the juice went bad while you were away but i dont think it should have any effect on u.
13. no, as long as you didnt drink it youll be fine. its a lil cup of moldy juice, its not like in your air vents or walls. lol
14. You will be okay because it has not entered your system.
15. no... as long as you didnt drink it then you are fine... it wouldnt give of strong harmful smells..
16. If you did not open the cup you should be ok. Black mold can be dangerous, only if touching it. If your corcerned contact your OB but you should be ok, just throw the cup away.
17. Oh no no. It takes a much greater amount of mold to harm you or your unborn baby. Hopefully you didn't drink it! Yuck! But even then, it takes ALOT more than that.
18. As long as you didnt drink it you should be fine! um how didnt you smell it when you walked in to the house?!
19. you will be fine
20. Noooooooooooo, it takes more than that kind of mold to make us sick. It's when carpets and dry wall have gotton wet and don't dry out right and the mold starts to grow. You're okay. Rest well.
21. As long as you didn't inhale it directly. I learned after Hurricane Katrina that if you inhale mold it can grow inside you, & you can die.
22. As everyone else has answered - you should be fine. Most of us deal with more mold than that on a daily basis even with your pregnancy. Just be careful and enjoy your happiness and have fun. Congratulations. ;)
23. no, unless you drank some of it.
24. Not at all.
