I sat on a toilet seat that is somewhat cushioned (inflated) I had wiped it with toilet paper. But I sat down hard on it and it splashed a liquid (directly on my intimate part) Is there a possibility of pregnancy? It was really grossing me out?

My son's doctor said he was anemic and prescribed him 4ml of liquid iron, which equals him ingesting 60mg. He said his hemoglobin was at an 8, but did not give me a paper printout. I was told 60mg of iron can cause poisoning. He is 9months old?
