Eaten mold while breastfeeding

This is awful but I've just accidentally eaten a sandwich with moldy bread and I feel entirely gross but also I'm wondering if its okay to breastfeed after this. I think the mold was just on the crust which I noticed when I got to that part of the sandwich and didn't eat but I don't know for sure.

It’s fine to breastfeed, your milk isn’t made from the contents of your stomach

Mold would be digested in your stomach and intestines. If it's in your blood, only a minor amount would pass to the breastmilk. Not enough to cause harm to the baby. ♥

A little bit of bread mold is unlikely to make you sick. Your stomach acids mostly likely killed any mold you might have accidentally ingested instantly. The worst part is realising that you *might* have eaten something moldy and that tends to make you feel a bit sick in itself, but you’ll most likely be fine.

If in the unlikely event you do get sick, you don’t have to stop breastfeeding. Just make sure you increase your fluid intake.

Worried

So I have a 19 month old little boy who is my world, I'm in a committed relationship with my partner of 4 years. On Friday we found out we're expecting our second after we suffered a 'pregnancy of unknown location back in November' and this time around im scared as hell.

I'm worried about things financially as things are already tight as it is.

I fight loneliness every single day as I honestly have no friends, and at the moment I'm just in my head alot with the loneliness.

I see how much of an uproar that some people are in about the lgbtq community being taught at school. But can the same be said for religion? Can we learn about the different religions or that’s crossing the line?

I’m asking because alot of people I saw have STRONG feelings towards wanting it to be taught. Is religion the same? Just curious.

Am I crazy, wrong, or is there more going on?

So I have been with my partner for 12 years. We are in our late 20’s. A long time. We have sex often, but Rarely will he do something more, but he knows I like spankings, handcuffs, blindfold, and some choking. I recently made a sex game. Where basically it’s a bunch of sex ideas, some bingos with locations and positions in our house, yes sex days, strip teases, new lingerie, role play ideas, etc all on a bunch of slips and the idea originally was to do one a week. He has a high sex drive and so do I. But since I made this? It’s like he doesn’t want to touch me at all. I don’t know if I’ve offended him by planning something like this. Or if hes getting off himself? Or something else? What could I have done? Suggest more? We both enjoy sex.

Friendship

In a relationship. Do yall have male and female friends? Or only female friends?

How are we working?

Mamas! I have a 10 month old and had to quit my job to stay home. I haven’t been able to find a job that lets me stay home with her! Daycare is not an option and my husband works M-F 9-5. I currently work part time but it’s not enough. What are mamas doing for work???
