I pretty sure i have worms and i'm 30 weeks pregnant! can pinworms, hookworms or tapeworms hurt my baby?

Indirectly, yes: it can cause anemia in the mother, which in turn can affect fetal growth, but what makes you so sure? Would you tell your doctor about it and get treated, unless you have no access to prenatal care, then you better get started
