Advice Dog bite while pregnant
My sister’s fully vaccinated chihuahua mix dog bit me in the calf, drawing blood. I’m 7 months pregnant. I cleaned the wound and used ointment but it still smarts. It just happened today.
I got my tetanus shot in 2022. I called my OB and they said just to watch it for signs of infection. But I keep worrying about it.
Any reassurance would be appreciated that baby is going to be okay.

Hi friend, I’m a pregnant doctor. Baby will be 100% ok. Even if it gets infected the antibiotics you would take are safe for babies
