Unlikely: Unlikely that a single ingestion of plastic will affect your pregnancy. In fact there's little direct evidence of this being harmful, it's under researched. Either way, you're better off avoiding this though for both the health of yourself and your pregnancy in the long-term. Birth defects trend to occur only in the first and second trimester.
