I inhaled toxic fumes from a lit candle on silver foil for 9 hours throughout the night while i slept. i later found out i was pregnant and implanted that same day. is the embryo at risk of harm - is it attached to my blood or taking from my oxygen?

Fetuses are very well protected from the external environment. They are also programmed to compete for oxygen from the mother. While it is a good idea not to have smoke and fumes in your environment, your baby is quite safe given this single exposure.
