Is anesthesia bad for pregnancy?

Question

I have a dental issue and the dentist may need to give anesthesia, but im 5 months pregnant and a bit scared. Will it reach the baby na? Did anyone get any procedure done during pregnancy?

Just focus on staying healthy and let the doctors handle the medical side. Always discuss with both your dentist/surgeon and your gynac first.

Doctors are super careful with pregnant ladies! 😊 Just keep your gynac in the loop before any dental or medical procedures.

Please always consult your gynac before getting any dental work or procedure that needs anesthesia. Safety is most important, so let your doctor decide.

Hey, don't stress too much about it. If any procedure is necessary, just tell the doctor you are pregnant and they will use pregnancy-safe anesthesia.

Lata Chadha · Answer

I actually had a minor dental issue during my second trimester and the dentist used a safe local anesthesia after checking with my gynac. It went very smoothly.

I had spinal anesthesia during my C-section and it was completely safe for me and the baby. The medical team knows exactly what dosage is safe for pregnant women.

I am also trying to conceive and was wondering about this. I heard local anesthesia is sometimes okay for dental work, but it's best to inform the doctor beforehand.
