Just got shocked by the mains electricity of my oven

I’m also pregnant, have a small mark on my hand but nothing else, should I go to hospital to get checked out anyway?

    Please remember that your Internet Parents are not medical providers and are not qualified to diagnose anything or recommend treatment. While we might be able to help you get through minor things (picking cold medicine, treating a minor burn, etc.), please seek help from a trained medical professional if you’re dealing with a serious problem.

    If you are not able to access medical care on your own, you may consider posting in a sub like /r/AskDocs or /r/DiagnoseMe where you can get help from verified medical folks.

    We also recommend the Cleveland Clinic website; you can search for symptoms and get information, or search the health library for things like “food poisoning” or “dandruff.”

    Posts seeking diagnoses or advice beyond basic first aid or self-care, or comments providing medical advice, may be locked or deleted at mods’ discretion.

    Call your OBGYN and ask them.

    Think you might be in the UK, give 111 a call and speak to someone who will have more of an idea than the majority of us.

    Call your doctor first. Be clear as to what happened how it felt at the time, how you are feeling now.

    I’m an electrician and a mom so doubly concerned- please go get checked out asap.

    All electrical contact incidents require a hospital visit.

    I mean, I would. Probably urgent care over ER though.

    Turn off the breaker and make sure anyone else in the house knows not to use the stove till you get that checked out.

    Pregnant moms run to the ER for way less.
    Go get checked out. You will feel better
