Patient's question:
Is there any impact on the baby if I received a local anesthetic without knowing I was pregnant? My last menstrual period was at the end of September. I have been using contraception measures ever since. In late October, I felt like I was going to have my period and didn't breastfeed, so I had one menstrual cycle. On November 2, I had a dental procedure and haven't had a period since. On November 10, I found out I was pregnant.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to explain your question. The local anesthetic you are currently using has minimal interference with the baby. Let's wait and see for now. Generally, the interference is either full or none. If there is an effect, it may lead to abnormal embryonic development and miscarriage. On the contrary, if the embryo develops normally, there will be no interference. This is the complete explanation for "Does it affect the baby if local anesthesia is administered without knowing about the pregnancy?" Finally, I wish the patient a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
