No. A shock strong enough to harm the fetus would be fatal to the mother. If it just made you jump and maybe say something like '*&^*', both the mother and the fetus are ok.
Most are grounded through their power cords. Modern cords include a ground wire that is connected through building wiring to a grounding rod.
Grounded.
The electrical cleaning equipment should be grounded. This grounding is what protects the operator from a serious shock should the the cleaning equipment have an electrical fault occur.

Assuming inside the lighting/distribution panel, the Neutral bar is "bonded" to the ground bar. Then the neutral prong (usually larger) of the receptical is then directly wired to the Neutral bar in the panel. The above technique keeps the NEUTRAL at GROUND potential, however, the metalic frame of the appliance remains UN-GROUNDED if the supply cord is only 2-wire. The NEUTRAL connection inside the appliance is not allowed to be bonded to the frame of the appliance. Therefore, the un-grounded metal frame of the appliance can become a shock hazard if there is a fault in the appliance's internal wiring
we use grounded electrical circuit to prevent high voltage from any type of electrical source. with the help of grounded electrical circuit we by pass the high voltage to the ground. in common language we call it earthing.
If you have a brand new appliance (hair dryer, toaster, fridge, tv etc) and it comes with a plug with three prongs it has a ground. If it comes with two prongs it is not grounded. The only time an electical appliance should not have three prongs is if it is "double insulated" double insulated means that the electrical components are on a chaisis that is electrically isolated from the outer case or chasis where the user can touch. This is done to greatly reduce the risk of electrical shock. If the device is not double insulated there must be a third prong or ground prong on the plug. The device will have a ground wire attached to the conducting parts of the device so that if there should be a failure such as a broken wire touching the parts that can be touched the electricity will have a path for electrical flow and again greatly reduce the risk of electrical shock to the user. If you plug in a three prong or grounded appliance and for some reason the breaker instantly trips there might be a dangerous electrical problem with the appliance which is causing electrical flow back through the ground conductor. this would also be slangly called a "shorted" circuit. It almost always causes the breaker or fuse to trip/blow.
Electrical systems must be grounded for the devices to function. The flow of electrons that drive them are attracted to the opposite pole of the battery and will not go through an electrical device that doesn't allow them to get to that pole.
If the wire is carrying an electrical current, and if the current has enough voltage, the current can leave the wire and pass through your body. This is painful, and can causes burns or death.
Electrical circuits are grounded to the earth.
when it is in a rubber casing or its a cell phone
GROUNDED!
