Doubt it: Your baby is tucked away in a secure compartment connected to your system by a placenta. That placental unit acts as a filter for baby & the bag of waters acts as a cushion.The chemicals your body makes as a pain response may hype baby up a bit like caffeine, but the filter/cushion prevents baby from having any real harm.
