Bathroom mold, what can I do about this.
Hello everyone,
My wife had been complaining about some wet dry wall next to the standing shower in our bathroom. So I went ahead and cut the piece of wet drywall and I cannot determine how big of a problem it is. Is there anything I can do myself to fix it or is it better to hire someone. I am on a tight budget these days and willing to do anything myself but I have a two month old newborn in the room next to this bathroom so I am worried and might have to hire someone. We purchased this house pretty much 10 months ago and every other corner of the house is pretty clean but this bathroom.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

You're correct in thinking the priority is safety of the baby. Now that mold is exposed, I'd move quickly on elimination. The first step, though, is to determine the source of the mold and correct it.
If you can't complete this work immediately, get some plastic sheeting and cover the exposed area.
Do you have access under the bathroom. What's there?
