Can Renovated House Odor Affect Pregnancy?

Hello, I am 28 weeks pregnant and am now worried I have put my baby at risk. A week ago my husband and I had our hardwood floors resealed (we were in the process of renovating our new home). We did not sleep there for 7 days after the process was done. But I was at the house sporaticly from 2 days after the seal was put on (for less than 3 hrs and half of which I was outside), but then on days 5 and 6 I was there more often. The smell/odor had lessened and we put odor eaters around the whole house to get rid of the smell. Unfortunately due to high humidity we were unable to keep the house open for long periods of time. I realize that at this point what is done is done, but now I am more nervous that I may have done some harm. Any advice would be great. Thank you very much.
