A member asked:

Blocked hair folicule on leg removed with local ansthetic early pregnancy, could it have caused my baby's hypoplastic aorta coarctation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Congenital heart defects are often times genetic. It is unlikely that a local anesthetic caused the malformation.
