No worries: Regular soap and water is just fine. All over the world, pregnant woman get injured with all sorts of stuff. Fortunately, the human body is pretty resilient and usually comes through fine. Washing with soap and water is adequate for tiny wounds. If a infection is seen later, a doctor can treat it.
