Does Inhaling Burnt Plastic Smell Affects During Pregnancy?

Hello! I am nine-weeks pregnant and as I was warming water in a pot on a gas stove, something started to smell. I was not sure what and instinctively smelled the pot from up close – and felt a very strong odor of burnt plastic. I then put the pot in the sink and did not use the hot water. I opened all windows and doors and aired my house. My questions is could this exposure to burnt plastic harm development of my baby? Thank you very much for your time.
