Accidentally ate mold while pregnant!!!

I'd thrown up mu

I'd thrown up twice today (yay, morning sickness) and hadn't eaten much. I finally found something that sounded good to me, part of which was a hamburger bun. By the time I'd pretty much finished it, I noticed that all the other buns are faintly moldy!!!!  

I'm really worried and scared. What do I do??

Your fine. I doubt the bun was green and fuzzy as you would have noticed that, so it was probably just little spots. The acid in your stomach will destroy the mold and that will be that. You may have a little bit of a sour stomach later but that will be all.

Bread mold has penicillin in it! I accidentally ate moldy bread at the beginning of my pregnancy also. Doctor said it would not hurt you or baby at all. No worries.

I did this when I was probably 28ish weeks-I made peanut butter toast and had just about finished when I saw mold on the loaf. Not sure how the heck I missed it! All that happened was I felt nauseous (not from the mold, but from knowing I ate mold). You and LO are fine (:

Not quite true, penicillin can be made from certain types of bread, but it's a process, it's not like insant penicillin

op you'll be ok

So you ate a bun that you didn't see any mold on and you're freaking out because the other buns were moldy? Relax.

As long as you don't eat lunch meat, you should be just fine! 

Sorry, had to say it!  You'll be fine, hon.

This. Otherwise those of us with penicillin allergies would be up a creek.

You're fine.  Believe me, all the hype about things harming pregnancy is made up.

I found out the apple juice I drank was recalled for mold. My doctor wasn't worried at all and stated mold wouldn't pass through to the baby. She told me not to worry at all and I drank most of the bottle

I noticed the other day after I had shredded and eaten some cheddar cheese that the other end was moldy. Not a lot to be done at that point. It tasted fine and I am still kicking
