Hi, I'm 21 weeks pregnant and was bitten on the finger today by a kitten. It was a wild one I was trying to fish out of a barrel at my mil's house.
It really only punctured the skin but it did draw blood. A few hours later, my finger is still sore and (always a little paranoid after my mc last January) I'm starting to worry about tetanus and the like. I can't even remember if I've been vaccinated against tetanus. I did wash it and dab it with dettol and would probably not be thinking about it if I wasn't expecting.
Any thoughts out there? Should I be worried or just forget it?
