Will Scorpion Venom Affect Foetus In Pregnancy?

Hello, Im about 9 weeks pregnant and got stung by a scorpion. I ve gotten stung before but never while I was pregnant. They gave me hydrocortisone cream and Benadryl. I know hats safe during pregnancy but I m wondering if venom would affect me at all.

Hi..if you are exposed in the past to scorpion then your body has developed antibodies against it.so don't worry & take symptomatic treatment. Thanks.
