Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,welcome to healthcare magic.I understand your concern.In my opinion swallowing of small plastic once might not harm you or your baby.The body will be able to detoxify and it will be eliminated.But if it is taken frequently it will be accumulated in the body leading to problems.So never do that again.Dont feel stress as it causes hormonal change and effect the fetus .All the best.
Hope this satisfies your query.
