Emphatic NO: Good lord, i worry about moms who continue to smoke and drink when they are pregnant. If that's the worst you've done, you will be fine.

Not if the pan is : Not coated. Pans with non-stick coating may release toxic chemicals, especially toxic to birds. If the pan was not coated, there is no need to worry.
