What to do if you have a fever before delivery

It is quite troublesome for pregnant women to have a fever before giving birth. It will cause them to feel weak and fatigued, affect their delivery, and cause them to feel dizzy during delivery. Therefore, pregnant women should use physical cooling methods to reduce fever and should not take medication to avoid affecting the fetus' organs. If physical cooling methods cannot be used in time to reduce fever before delivery, the fetus should be delivered by caesarean section first, and then treatment should be carried out.

What to do if a pregnant woman has a fever before delivery

If a pregnant woman has symptoms of fever before delivery, it is considered that she is infected with pathogens. It is recommended that you do not take medicine on your own. Some medicines can cause fetal malformations. You should go to the hospital in time and diagnose what infection you have under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, the doctor is also aware of the contraindications of medication for pregnant women and can comprehensively consider the side effects and the impact of the disease and choose the most suitable treatment method.

What are the effects of cold on the fetus?

In early pregnancy, because the fetus and various organs are not yet fully developed, when a pregnant woman contracts influenza, the virus can pass through the placenta and affect the development of the fetus's organs, especially during the formation of the fetal cardiovascular system. This virus can cause congenital heart disease in the baby. In addition, influenza during pregnancy may cause fetal malformations and may increase the risk of fetal malignant tumors, thereby affecting the lifelong health of the next generation. These effects have not yet been directly confirmed. The high fever and toxins caused by a cold can also stimulate the uterus and cause contractions, resulting in miscarriage or premature birth.

If you catch a cold in the late stages of pregnancy, although the fetus is basically fully developed at this time and the chances of fetal malformation or congenital defects are reduced, it can easily cause premature birth and increase the neonatal mortality rate.

The psychological pressure of pregnant women will increase sharply before giving birth. If there are problems with the physical health of the pregnant mother at this time, the psychological pressure of the pregnant mother will be increased. So at this time the expectant father must take responsibility, find ways to help the expectant mother relieve pain, and pay attention to psychological comfort.
