Paint chipped off weight set (made in china). vacuumed it. afraid that there may have been lead in paint. 29 weeks pregnant. something to worry about?

No worries.: Lead exposure has to be of a longer and greater duration to be of concern. Nothing to worry about.

Probably not: Lead poisoning is typically from eating the paint. If it just chipped off and you can vaccumed it up, it's probably very low risk.
