Should be fine: This should not be a problem as you cooked them. Rinsing them does not get rid of bacteria (although it is a good idea to rinse before using, especially if eating raw). The cooking part is the important aspect. So you should be fine. Hope your pregnancy goes well!

No risk: The risk for bacterial/listeria infection is low in the first place; plus you cooked them. Little chance you would get an infection.
