I got a cut on my ankle and was bleeding and someone cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide i was wondering if that is fine to use if you are pregnant i am 34 weeks pregnant ?

Hydrogen peroxide used on the skin will not harm your baby. Generally soap and copious running water is best. Getting an infection would be more worrisome.
