Hello everyone, I am currently freaking out and need some reassurance. I ate some toast with jam this morning and then went to put the jam away and saw mould all around the rim of the jar and the lid! I am now freaking out. I called maternity assessment unit but the midwife said I should be fine because it’s unlikely that it would have got on the jam itself that I was eating but I am not sure. I am 35 weeks pregnant. Is the baby going to be ok? I feel so so stupid. I cannot believe I’ve put my baby at risk over something like this.

This happened to me with cheese, was expired but unopened and no mould at all, later realised it was expired and panicked, I have had no symptoms or stomachache x
Wouldn’t worry about it at all. If you aren’t sick it’s unlikely to have reached the baby. Plus at 35 weeks your baby is fully developed and will be strong xx

Hey lovely. I’ve also done the same during pregnancy (ate jam and there was mould in the jar), I didn’t realise until after. I’ve also eaten mouldy bread - it’s an easy mistake. I’d say just monitor your symptoms - if you feel ill, speak to MA again.. but it’s unlikely that it will harm you or baby x
