Does Getting Electric Shock While Pregnant Affect The Fetus?
Question: Hi doctor I was washing my hands when I felt a current water shock in my hands and now my hands are sore. I am late on my period and suspect I am pregnant could this shock have affected the baby
Brief Answer:
Baby is not affected.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Just a small shock is not likely to affect the baby so early. You need to confirm the pregnancy first. Do a urine test using the kit available over the counter at all the pharmacies.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
