brief exposure to tub glazing fumes - worried.

Help?

Hi everyone, I just found out I’m pregnant (roughly 4 weeks).

My neighbors were re-glazing a bathtub in the unit next to/above mine. The company they used vented the fumes outside. I began smelling the fumes faintly in my bathroom and kitchen, which is when I stuck my head outside briefly and saw the vent. The smell outside was super strong.

After that, I left my apartment for the rest of the day. In total, I probably only smelled the fumes faintly inside for about 15-20 minutes, plus briefly outside when I checked and saw the vent. When I walked to my car to leave, the smell was gone and so was the company.

I’m just really worried about what this might have done to my baby. Feeling super anxious.

Thanks for any insight or personal experiences!
