I cut my finger while chopping veggies yesterday and its a bit deep. Now im overthinking if any small wound can affect the baby in some way. Im 5 months along, getting a little worried over nothing maybe.
Main thing is keeping it clean to avoid infection, since infection is what you want to avoid in pregnancy. Dont take any tablet or apply anything strong on your own, just call your gynac and ask whats safe.
A small cut usually isnt a big deal, just clean it and keep it covered. But if its deep, dirty, from a rusty thing, or near the belly, please see a doctor, tetanus and infection need to be handled properly in pregnancy.
For a tiny scratch beta just clean it and let it heal. But dont go applying haldi and home things on a big or deep wound, that needs a doctor to look and decide. Better safe.
Depends on the wound. Minor scrapes, clean with water and a mild antiseptic. Anything with a lot of bleeding, redness, swelling or pus, get it checked. Dont self medicate with random ointments, ask your doc.
