Should A Pregnant Lady Be Concerned After Consuming Food With Some Melted Plastic In It?

I baked a lasagna tonight that had plastic wrap under the foil. Half way through, I removed the top foil but never noticed the plastic!! The wrap completely melted and I served it to my guests and myself, never noticed until my guests left :( The plastic was stuck to the side of the pan which I noticed when I cleaned the pan. One of the guests is 7 mos pregnant! Should I contact her? I feel awful about this!!! Should I be concerned?The four of us each had a 3x4 piece with the baked on melted plastic.Thank you!!
