What to do if you catch a cold during early pregnancy

In the early stages of pregnancy, having a fever and a cold is very frustrating. If it is a common cold with fever, the symptoms are relatively mild, with only clear runny nose and sneezing, without fever, sore throat and other serious symptoms. It is generally not likely to have an impact on the test tube embryo or fetus, and there is no need to take medicine.

In the early stages of pregnancy, there is a significant change in the breathing function of pregnant women. At 18 weeks of pregnancy, the oxygen consumption of pregnant women increases by 10%-20%, half of which is consumed by the fetus. The ventilation volume of the lungs increases by 40%. In order to meet the oxygen needs of the pregnant woman and the fetus, the pregnant woman usually hyperventilates to absorb CO2. The fetus does not have any breathing function in the mother's body, and the CO2 it needs is completely inhaled by the mother. Because of excessive ventilation, a large amount of floating dust is inhaled, and the hematoma and edema of the respiratory mucosa such as the nose, pharynx and bronchus of pregnant women are very likely to cause respiratory infections.
