mold and miscarriage?

Hello, I was curious if any one had any experience, or information on toxic mold causing miscarriage. I had 3 healthy pregnancies, then moved to a new house which had tons of leaks and mold problems, and while living there i had two second trimester miscarriages. The mold was the only major change in my life. I also have a friend who had six miscarriages while living in a house with black mold problems. Could toxic mold have caused all of this? My doctors have done every test possible, and nothing shows wrong with me or the babies i lost.any information would be so appreciated!

I think it's possible! Mold is very dangerous and you are breathing it in

I am so sorry for your losses and I hope you are doing okay

Thank you for your response.

I think anything is possible! I am still looking for answers...... I would try and get rid of it just in case so at least it is one less worry and would be better for your health and your boys as well! I am so so sorry your little Elijah and Isaac had to leave I know your pain and it is one no mother should have to experience! <3

Thank you both. I moved into a new house since the landlord refused to fix the leaks our let is fix them. so maybe some day i will find the courage to try again.

This is crazy BUT, I had the same experience. The only difference with me is I have lost a baby before this last one... My last pregnancy I lived in a condo, which was discovered to have a leak in the kichen for over a year before it was discovered. We had to remove the entire kitchen as a result of it and lived with NO kitchen for almost 8 weeks while we did the repairs. When it was all finally done, THE WEEK IT WAS DONE, I went in for my NT scan @ almost 14 weeks and we caught the miscarriage AS IT WAS HAPPENING... truly terrible experience, one I will never get over probably. Anyway, the only thing (besides one previous loss) I could see that was different was this toxic black mold problem that I dealt with my entire first trimester of pregnancy. Baby was totall normal in every way (and a girl :( ) and the pregnancy was perfectly fine. I too had all the testing under the sun, only for them to say "these things happen.." and told to try again.

I am so sorry for your loss ... just know it does get easier with time. I just got a bfp last week after trying for 9 mths (in a new house!) and I hope to God everything is okay with this pregnancy.

I wish you all the best :hugs:

P.S I have read conflicting things on the internet, and my OB seemed to dismiss it as a legitimate cause so I let it go, but have always wondered. I wanted to sue the hell out of my landlords but didn't as I never got concrete evidence to support my cause. If you find anything, please let me know. I don't care about anything other than answers at this point.

AAA charlee congrats!!! FXFXFX

I had an early loss once right after I got back from my inlaws' house - now I also had been under a bunch of stress and had too much caff. as well (did not realize I was pg) but they have TONS of mold and mildew and general grossness in their house and I def. have wondered if it could make a difference.

My husband's cousin died from inhaling toxic mold spores while cutting wood.

I have actually watched some programs on CI where mould in houses was causing bleeding and deaths on infants and toddlers. If mould can have such a drastic effect on babies and toddlers, then it is perhaps extremely dangerous for developing foetus. So sorry for all your losses due to silly mould.
