Does fever have an impact on the fetus

  Every expectant mother hopes to have a healthy and healthy pregnancy, but not every expectant mother can achieve this. In fact, even a slight mistake by expectant mothers can lead to illness. If there is a fever during pregnancy, will it have a negative impact on the fetus? Can pregnancy continue after a fever? Let me explain this knowledge to everyone!

  

Does fever have an impact on the fetus1

  1. Early pregnancy

  Early pregnancy is a critical period for the formation of the main organs of the embryo. If the expectant mother has a persistent high fever at this time, it can have a significant impact on the embryo and may cause congenital abnormalities or even death in the fetus. Even if it's not like this, there will still be varying degrees of immaturity, so having a fever in early pregnancy can be very harmful to the fetus.

  2. Mid pregnancy

  In mid pregnancy, the embryo is in a relatively stable state, and at this time, whether it is a viral fever or a bacterial fever, it will not directly harm the fetus. But if the expectant mother's high fever persists, corresponding treatment measures should still be taken to alleviate the symptoms of fever. Because viral fever not only causes extreme discomfort to expectant mothers, but also affects the healthy development of the fetus; Bacterial colds generally do not have a significant impact, but if a high fever persists, it is still important to seek medical attention promptly to identify the cause.

  3. Late pregnancy

  At this time, the fetus has basically taken shape. High fever can sometimes cause premature birth, and some may even lead to sepsis, jaundice, meningitis, etc. after birth. Therefore, this period is also quite dangerous. Expectant mothers should seek medical treatment in a timely manner to avoid worsening of the condition.

  PS: Whether the pregnancy can continue after a fever requires communication with a doctor to understand the detailed situation of the embryo, in order to weigh the pros and cons and decide whether to continue.
