Ate uncooked pork by accident - pregnant

My husband cooked a BBQ tonight and I noticed a bit of sausage I had eaten wasn’t cooked properly and was still pink, the bit I had bit into and eaten was pink in the middle, all the others were cooked, it was just this one. I am now so paranoid.
I am 29 weeks pregnant, will me and baby be ok? Is there anything I should keep an eye out for? I have never had food poisoning before and I am so scared I will get it and it will harm the baby. I have health anxiety so this has sent me through the roof!

You might get a dickie tummy, but you and baby will be fine! Try not to worry xx

Pink pork is actually okay to eat so long as its hot throughout (by this I meam slightly pink right in the centre, not pink like a rare steak)
The chances of getting food poisoning (especially if all the others were cooked through) is very minimal imo.
If you've feeling well a handful of hours post eating, assuming you finished the sausage, you're all good.
If you notices and stopped, chances are even lower

@Groundhogday2025 @LaTable thank you both, very reassuring! It was only slightly pink, not totally raw, but was definitely undercooked.
This was about 2 hours ago now and I feel fine so hoping I don’t have food poisoning :) still slightly anxious but your comments help massively x
