Im pregnant and in my first trimester. i placed some raid ant bait traps in my home. i washed my hands after, but did i just potentially expose myself to any chemicals?

I would not consider the event a worrisome exposure. To affect your fetus, materials must enter your bloodstream which would be from what you eat/drink/have injected into your body of fumes you inhale. The skin is a firm barrier against things entering the blood, so creams/lotions or other things you apply also are not a problem.
