Dr. Richard Pollard answered

Specializes in Anesthesiology

Probably not: The tissues in your body have a high ability to transfer and dissapate heat. Just because the skin was exposed to some heat, and I am assuming your wife has no burns, it would be extremely unlikely that the baby was exposed to an increase in temperature.

Dr Conovalciuc and another doctor agreed
