20.5 days pregnant. accidentally swallowed a little colgate optic white toothpaste while brushing teeth. can this hurt baby or pregnancy in any way?

Not to worry: You and your child will be fine. Women have been giving birth since the dawn of time, enduring hardships and conditions much, much worse than swallowing a little toothpaste. I would advise you to abstain from smoking, drinking, and recreational drugs. Eat healthy. Stay fit.

You'll be fine!: Colgate know there's a chance that an individual out there that may swallow toothpaste so they make it as safe as possible. Don't worry you'll be fine!
