Could Exposure To Antifreeze Fumes In Pregnancy Harm The Baby?

i m 24 weeks pregnant. My truck has a bad heater core and antifreeze fumes leak into the truck. The leak is not that bad and I have no side effects. My husband will get it fixed soon. Meanwhile, i am only exposed to the leak twice a day for a short period of time (I only need to drive the truck to transport my other kids back and forth to school. otherwise i drive my car.). Wanted to know if the amount of exposure to the fumes thus far will cause any harm to my baby?
