Weedkiller worry

Well, I didn't want my first post to be about something like this! I'm six weeks pregnant and this morning I must have completely been out of my mind as I sprayed Verdone Extra weedkiller all over my lawn. It was only afterwards I realised the damage I could have done. The weedkiller isn't toxic, it's one that only kills certain weeds and not the lawn - but I can't help but panic. I wore rubber gloves and covered my skin but I'm not sure if I might have inhaled it.

Does anyone know how dangerous this could be? I know there's nothing I can do now except regret it, but I can't help but worry.

Thanks

If its not toxic to humans then its not a problem

Thanks for your advice. I'm not used to this 'being pregnant' thing yet! I'll try to cut down on the worrying....
