Mosquito bites when pregnant
I’m 19 weeks pregnant and have been eaten alive by mosquitos at a BBQ last night. Google says I need to contact a GP or my midwife as this could cause issues for the baby. Has anyone else done this? I don’t want to sound over worried on the phone for no reason if I don’t need to

I get bitten all the time, just super sweet blood I guess. I have a bite zapper which takes the itch away and have an antihistamine if needed.
They were out in full force last night 🥴. Huge annoying things. I’d either consult out of hours/pharmacist, & see what they can suggest.
I would have thought in the UK mosquito bites aren't a huge concern, but you could call 111?
I’ve been bitten so much both here in the UK and Croatia the last few weeks - I didn’t even think about it being a concern 😳 Let us know if you contact them and what they say.
To all that commented - spoken to my midwife today! She has said that it’s not something to be concerned about unless you get weird reactions to the bites in which case to call back

Following as I have also been bitten quite badly recently and didn’t even think to google it 😅
