Would if be okay to have local anaesthesia during pregnancy?

Yes: There are some medications that can have an effect on the unborn child. Local anesthetics should not be one of them when used correctly. Discuss your condition with your provider before any procedure and talk about the risks.

Yes: The safety margin of local anesthetics is quite large. This is still related to the dose and area being injected. Avoiding a vascular injection or rapid absorption of the local anesthetic is the main concern when using during pregnancy.
