Will I Get Infected From Safety Pin Wound During Pregnancy?

Hi, i was getting an ingrown hair out with a normal safety pin i found lying around the house and accidently pushed it in a little too deep and the area started bleeding a little. I am worried that i could catch something as i am also pregnant, please let me know what i need to do and what is the possibility of me catching a deadly infection?

just have to go for tetenus toxoid injection. it is given to mother during pregnancy anyway. two injection of tetanus toxoid 4 weeks apart is rule. don't worry much. it is a clean deep penetration. it won't get infected in deadly infection. just take care of your health. and if you get fever meanwhile is a sign of infection . In that case meet a doctor.
