Exposure To Toilet Bowl Cleaner. Nausea, Headache, Throat Pain. Harm To Fetus?

I may be pregnant, possibly just a couple of weeks. A toilet bowl cleaner, The Works, spilled all over the trunk of our car and I inhaled it and got it all over my hands initially as I tried to clean it up. My husband cleaned up the rest, he seemed to have a greater exposure but did not get sick. The fumes were in the car for a few days but we continuously left the windows open. I was already nauseous before the incident which led me to believe I was pregnant but after exposure I had a headache and throat pain; my sinuses also hurt and I felt like I could taste the chemical for a couple days too which worried me the most. If I am pregnant, did I hurt my baby?
