Electric shock!!

I was just pluggin in the iron when i got a shock on my right fingers all the way up to my elbow and it was really scary

could this harm bubs at al? do i need to call someone or go to hossy?

I don't know - but I figure it can't hurt to call the hospital, explain and ask for their advice. Better to be safe than sorry - how frightening!

OUCH!!! Maybe just to make sure, you better make a phone call. I hope your feeling better now though! That would have been pretty frightening!

Thanks guys

yes it was very scary i felt it go right to my elbow and my arm ached for hours after

i called the MW at the hossy and they said that it should be fine as it was not a major shock, and as bubby was still moving that it was ok, and just to monitor her movements

Hi Shell!

Glad that you're ok! I received an electric shock at work ( that knocked me out and threw me to the floor!) when I was 12 weeks along!

Luckily, everything was ok but I did head to the hospital to get checked out and monitored for a few hours before i could relax!

It can be pretty scary stuff, so again, glad everything is ok - i guess you cant iron anymore! It just wants to attack you! Best that your partner does the ironing! Lol!

Natari :D

I always, always ring " NURSE ON CALL ", a 24hour health advice hotline (i'm sure it's available for ALL states in Australia) ... and it's a FREE SERVICE :D

These nurse on the phone are fantastic and friendly and they DO help you with information and what to do, etc ... :dance:

I've rung them for DD in the past when there have been little accidents and myself recently when i had severe chest pains at 5am in the morning !!

************* Here's a tip - Keep the phone number on the fridge :thumbsup:
