methyl salicylate

[audrey]

I'm 36 weeks preganant and 2 days ago used metsal cream (about 1 cm) for my leg which contains methyl salicylate (28.3%).

Only the day after i found out that the ingredient may be harmful for the fetus. Yesterday my baby didn't move as much as the days before.

Is there anything I can do, has the damage been done? Or am I just overreacting?

Thanks,
Audrey
