Doubtful: however- it could affect YOUR health: If coughing or short of breath- please get examined. I would doubt death or miscarriage.

Should be OK: Hi. As long as the chimney is unobstructed, it should be fine. Nevertheless, be careful, and leave a window cracked somewhere so smoke is drawn up the chimney. Your baby is probably fine. Good luck with the pregnancy and delivery!

NO: A 12 week pregnant woman living in a house where the wood burning stove was simply left open would suffer no ill effects. Smoke inhalation form a burning house on fire that requires Emergency medical attention in another story. In your case, you will be fine.
