Accidental use of surgical spirit when pregnant- have I harmed my baby?

Hi

Currently 12+6 and I’ve got a small infection in my finger where I’ve bitten away some dead skin. I squeezed out the puss then about 30 mins later I was in the bathroom and saw a bottle of surgical spirit, I put a cotton bud inside and ran it over the swelling and area where the wound had closed up. Then I noticed AFTERWARDS that it shouldn’t be used in pregnancy. I’m freaking out, especially as I used an alcohol mouthwash this morning without realising.

Have I harmed my baby? I’m so frightened, can anyone shed any light?

You wont have harmed your baby.

It's fine, definitely won't have harmed the baby.

No, your baby will be absolutely fine. Stop worrying.
