bleach while pregnant? ?

I wanted to disinfect my dishes and I used one oz of bleach and hot water and let it soak in the sink I wasn't around the fumes but is that safe while pregnant?  I am really worried now :( I also used bleach to clean the sink it was nasty and I felt like nothing else would disinfect it quiet as well.

I bleach EVERYTHING! I'm in my "nesting phase". All I wanna do is mop, sweep, wipe, wash, etc. I use bleach in the dish water and mop bucket every time I clean.

I clean buildings and am now 32weeks I was also worried about that but as long as you are not in a closed room for a long time you should be just fine

Also, my suggestion, while using cleaning supplies and especially bleach always wear a mask.

I think it's safe I use it when I clean my house like when I wash my bathrooms and mop the floor or do laundry.  But that's not everyday it's like once every two weeks or so. I think you should be alright as long as your not sniffing it like out the bottle
