Is Accidental Bleach Intake During Pregnancy Harmful?
My friend was cleaning out their water cooler and let bleach soak in it. I didn t know and drank from it. I swallowed three or four gulps before I felt it. I m pregnant and I was terrified. I immediately puked. What risks did it have to my baby. Is there anything else I can do

Hello,
thanks for choosing healthcare magic for your query...
I understand your concern.
By knowing your history you swallowed very small amount and diluted bleach. So it is most likely you will not have to face any serious complications.
Most probably your baby will be completely safe.
But bleach is corrosive..it can injure food pipe( esophagus) and airway pipe(trachea).
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO MEET DOCTOR IN PERSON IMMEDIATELY.
I hope this helps.
Feel free to ask any further queries..
