Surroundings while pregnant

I have two concerns in my house and I'm not sure if they can harm my baby anyway.First My boyfriend has a really disgusting pillow he doesn't want to part with it's probably 8+ years old it's brown and stinks really bad (ive heard about all the germs that can be in old pillows). Second my room has a bad mould the moisture absorbers that are ment to last 3months only last 2weeks in there. I've tried everything from letting as much sun in and cleaning it but it won't seem to go away. I'm trying to move as soon as I can

The pillow will only harm the baby if he sleeps on it, the mold can definately be harmful if not kept under control.

The mold can be dangerous, get actual mold remover/cleaner from somewhere like home depot. Then have your bf paint over it with mold resistant paint.

I've also noticed peroxide helps with mold. You could was the pillow and let it outside to air dry

You should look into a hypoallergenic pillow case and wash the walls with vinegar it works wonders!
