Nervous- Local anaesthetic at 20 weeks pregnant

[Marymaryy]

Hey ladies,

Has anyone ever had this? I have to have a suspicious mole removed and local anaesthetic injected to the area. Really worried about the affects on baby as I have read it crosses the placenta. Anyone else had to have this and all been ok?

Totally fine - the amount getting into your bloodstream and crossing to the baby in a situation like this is so small as to be negligible.

@SockQueen Thanks for your reply, ok thanks that eases my mind a bit google scared me when reading up on it 😣

I had to have it for dentistry work - it's totally safe. You'll be fine!

I had it the other day for a similar procedure. It'll be fine.
