Hi,
If you get an electric shock, you will definitely notice at least a tingling sensation and spread of the impulse along the path. The fact that you did not feel any impulse suggests that perhaps you did not receive any electric shock. There is no harm done in the current scenario to your pregnancy and so, please do not worry. It is also true at the same time that higher amounts of shock can lead to numbness, loss of function, loss of consciousness and threaten the pregnancy. Take adequate rest, healthy diet and regular follow up. Hope this helps.
