Hello Madam, thank you for your question, and a thousand congratulations :)
Hibiscus is absolutely to be avoided during pregnancy.

What are the dangers if I have already used it?

In general, there is very little data available about its safety during pregnancy (and breastfeeding, too, for that matter). One reference I looked up also reports that some types of hibiscus may increase the risk of miscarriage or abortion.
I can't comment on the effects of the consumption you've already done, but I would suggest no more consumption for the duration of the pregnancy :)
