Is it okay to get anesthesia and tetanus shot after getting pregnant?

Patient's question:

I just got pregnant. My last menstrual period was on July 7th of last month. Today, on August 9th, I got injured and received a tetanus shot and anesthesia. I was also prescribed cephalosporin. I am very worried about whether the medications given for the fetus will have any effects. Can I take cephalosporin? However, the doctor said that in my condition, not taking anti-inflammatory medication could lead to infection, and I am very concerned.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this situation may have a certain impact. If you want to continue the pregnancy, it is recommended to undergo various prenatal tests, including Down syndrome screening, amniocentesis, etc. Pay attention to a balanced diet and adequate rest. Generally, doctors advise patients with risk signs during prenatal examinations to maintain a reasonable diet and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
