 I'm sure it will be fine, it didn't stop the sperm so I'm pretty sure it won't stop the baby.
But check with your doctor

 I think you are fine.. although I would still watch out for STD's. AIDS can go between mother and fetus. Mother/child can have problems if their blood types don't match. Just as well as the baby can catch things on the way out like herpes.

Nope your baby is in a protective sack that keeps everything away from it. Even if you get an infection or AIDs your baby is fine. Talk to your doctor so you aren't so worried.

 This is a better question to ask your OBGYN. My initial thought is no, this won't harm the baby because the spermicide is only meant to kill off sperm, but it gentle enough that it can be applied into the very sensitive vagina.

Copy-paste this and read up on it. It's from the International Planned Parenthood site. I should answer all of your questions.

 That would be a great question for your doctor. Was you using it every time you had sex? With you being this early on hopefully not. They say that this is the most important time bc of the baby's development but most people are still on bc at this time when they find out and the babies are fine. I wouldn't be too concerned till you talk to your doctor.
