Epigenics & c.h.d. had local ansthetic near my ankle during 1st few weeks of pregnancy. fetus had single umbilical artery. born with coa. connection?

Highly unlikely: lidocaine is not a known teratogen, very well documented. A single umbilical artery and other birth defects including coarctation of the aorta may have genetic cause.. Is your baby female? A clinical genetics consult is indicated, as you deserve genetics counseling and testing. Contact your local clinical geneticist, or you may ask for a live consultation through Healthtap.
