Spray paint fumes?

Hi
hoping someone can make me feel better and stop worrying.
im 5 weeks pregnant.
Ive just used some spray paint outside, without any gloves and without a mask.
I tried not to inhale any as sprayed it away from myself but did take one inhalation of it as it smelt strong.
It got on my hands also quite a bit, but I washed it off immediately.
Didnt think too much about it before doing it, it’s only now after I’ve got some on my hands I started to panic.
have I caused any harm to my baby?
😢

No your baby will be absolutely fine. You won't have a placenta yet so baby isn't yet attached directly to your bloodstream- although it would likely be ok later in pregnancy, albeit safer with gloves and a mask.

Thank you @Nursemumma92 ❤️
I googled frantically afterwards and saw nothing but negativity.
I did see someone mentioned the placenta on another post so that will be in my favour.
thank you so much x
