A member asked:

Pregnant 22w. touched concrete on porch outside for a few secs. forgot to wash hands with soap & touched my gums which were swollen . toxmoplamosis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not the problem: No concern from touching concrete then touching gums. Problem is the pre-existing gum disease. Link between gum disease and premature births of low birth weight babies. Inform your obgyn and call a periodontist.
