did anyone (or know anyone) have a lidocaine injection during pregnancy and baby turned out ok? I was told it is safe and found it is category B so I guess that's ok. Just curious.

I had a similar thing happen with a different cat. b with my last pregnancy, and everything was fine. Hopefully it will be ok for you too!

Lidocaine and Prilocaine are both safe for use as local anesthetics during pregnancy. We just learned about this in pharmacology this past semester (I'm a dental hygiene student).

lidocaine is fine. if you're asking because of dental work, my ob strongly suggests you not get lidocaine with epinephrine included, but by itself lidocaine is fine.
