My son has pinworms and i was told to treat the whole family with reeses pinworm medicine and have. i am 22 weeks pregnant, could my baby be at risk?

No: That medication is not absorbed into your system/blood stream so it is very unlikely to harm your baby. Pinworm itself does not enter blood stream either, so your baby is safe from that, too.
