A member asked:
Accidentally swallowed fish bone or chicken bones while pregnant will it harm the baby? does it cross the placenta? what can and can't cross placenta?

No: The only person at risk would be you if you swallowed a bone big and sharp enough to harm your intestinal tract. There's nothing in fish or chicken bone that even if digested would be harmful to the baby.
