Maybe you guys can help, I called the local E.R and they pretty much called me crazy.
I'm beyond freakin out. My kitty had something wrong with his eye, so I took him to the vet and it turned out he had roundworm, so we got him his medicine but my cat is my baby, so i was with him the entire time he was getting better, I have no clue exactly how long he had the worm before I took him to the vet, couldnt be to long tho. He sleeps in my room, I'm 33 weeks pregnant and I an freaking out bc I have no clue if I could catch his worms, even tho the ones comng out of him now are dead, but could I have it? I wash my hands everytime I mess with him, Can it hurt my baby? I've been crying for the past 30 mins now

Its not common for the worms to pass to humans if you were cautious and washed your hands after every encounter. You should be just fine.
