horseradish and early pregnancy scared???

OK so I know im prone to over panicking, but this evening for dinner I had some fish and chips with proberbly about a teaspoon and a half, maybe more,  of horse radish sauce from a jar. now one of my friends has told me that it can cause an abortion and i'm panicking. This may be a little too much info but i threw up the meal about 30-45 mins after eating it (gotta love the morning sickness last thing at night) and then managed to eat and hold down a large chese and vegemite sandwich. I know i'm proberbly being silly, but will this bit i ate cause me any harm, I certainly won't be eating anymore of the stuff, but now im terrified i have caused harm.

Everything should be fine, but it is true that it can have abortive effects. Just avoid it from now on. Don't worry. For those to happen, you usually have to ingest large amounts.

No I dont think that you have anything to worry about. My doctor gave me a big list of foods to avoid while pregnant and horseradish was not on the list. If anything, it will help clear up your sinuses haha. If your still concerned I would contact your doctor for a peace of mind. Keep us updated on what you find out and Congrats on your pregnancy!
