Just been cooking my dinner and I put the wrong eletric hob on - I put the back one on which had a stack of trays on it. Didn't notice for ages , I smelt an odd smell but presumed it was the pie - I got it out, cut it up etc. etc. all before I noticed a huge trail of smoke coming from the hob. I took me ages (seemed to anyway) to get teh trays off and into the sink as I was scared it would set alite as the bottom one was full of fat. Feel abit woozy as it was pretty intense smoke for awhile and pretty toxicy smell, normally I wouldn't worry - just stick my head out the window but should I be doing anything being pregnant? Probably just being paranoid! TIA x

The baby will be absolutely fine. It doesn't breathe the air that you do, all its oxygen is taken in through the placenta.

Cigarette smoke is dangerous because of the other chemicals in the fags.

If you are worried, ring your mw, or if you have any symptoms yourself, you could call NHS direct, but I'm sure that they will tell you that there is nothing to worry about.
