Should I Be Worried About A Red Coloured Tick On My Back Considering I Am Pregnant?

I am 29 weeks pregnant today and yesterday I found a small brownish reddish colored tick embedded on my back. He was not fat like he had been there a while and we got the head out just wondering if I should be worried. There is no redness or itching on the site where he was found.

Hi, donot panic. If there is neither itch or rash, you are safe. Watch for the symptoms of fever or body pains for the next few days to be on safer side, and visit a physician if you start getting those symptoms. Hope this helped.
