A member asked:

10 wks pregnant. i was eating pitted olives and there was one with some pop in it i accidentally swallowed. it was sharp! will it hurt the baby?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No worries: Accidentally swallowing one olive pit should cause no changes in one's body. People on occasion accidentally swallow a small seed or a small pit, and never notice any problems.
