Dog lick pregnancy

Hi, so I'm pregnant and I was sleeping on the sofa. I was woken up by my dog licking dry skin/rash on my hand. Can I catch anything harmful from this?

Sounds like you need to ask an actual medical resource what is worth worrying about in pregnancy, because it's a very short list and dogs licking you definitely isn't on it. Educate yourself rather than get anxious about everything.

The NHS has excellent resources; I'd suggest starting here: www.nhs.uk/pregnancy/finding-out/health-things-you-should-know-in-pregnancy/
