Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. The local anaesthetic agents have no adverse action on the fetus. This is so because there is very little absorption of the drug in the blood which can affect the fetus.
I suggest you not to worry.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
