Could I have harmed my unborn baby by taking cold medicine before I found out i was pregnant?

I just found out that Im pregnant today. Im totally excited but im so worried at the same time b/c I have had a bad cold these past few days and have been taking nightquil and dayquil. i stopped it today when i found out. I went in for a blood test this morning and wont get results till monday and then they'll get me in for a 1st appt. Could i have harmed my unborn child in any way? i did not use more then directed, but i've stopped taking anything now b/c i dont want to jeapardize anything and everyones confusing me saying "dont take that" "you cant take this" i dont know what is safe and what is not. Please help im so worried.
