Anesthesia during the first month of pregnancy. Could the baby be harmed?

My best friend just found out that she is one month pregnant. Two weeks ago she had surgery for a breast reduction and was under anesthesia, with pain medication for the week afterwards (I think it was percocet or oxycontin?).

What could possibly happen to the baby? Any help would be appreciated.

I had anesthesia at 6 wks. At first, drs thought I had appendicitis, then thought it was ectopic pregnancy, or a ruptured ovary, so they did a laparoscopy to investigate. My son, now 19 years old, was just fine. I, however, have a very high pain tolerance, so I did not take strong pain killers following surgery. I may have taken Extra Strength Tylenol, if I took anything at all.
