What if I catch a cold when I'm four months pregnant?

We all know that women's bodies are more fragile during pregnancy and are in great need of nutrition. Some pregnant women report that their body resistance is too weak during pregnancy, and they are prone to catching colds, which are difficult to cure and last for a long time. So today I will explain to you what causes a cold when you are four months pregnant. Let’s take a look below.

If a pregnant woman catches a cold, it is important to figure out what causes the cold and at what stage of pregnancy the cold occurs. Different causes and onset periods of colds have different effects on the fetus.

Colds are divided into common colds and viral colds. If it is just a common cold, the main symptoms are sneezing, nasal congestion, and no fever. The symptoms are mild and there is no need to take cold medicine. It can usually heal on its own within a week. In this case, a pregnant woman's cold will not have any effect on the fetus.

If the cold symptoms are severe, especially if the high fever persists and if the cold is caused by influenza virus infection, the cold may have a certain impact on the fetus.

These influences come from:

1. A cold caused by influenza virus may cause influenza virus to infect the fetus;

2. Medication taken when you have a severe cold may have an impact on the fetus;

3. Fever will also have a certain impact on the fetus.

The above is what professionals have introduced to us about why women catch colds during pregnancy and the corresponding solutions. Women should pay special attention to their physical condition and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately if they get sick, not only for themselves but also for the health of their babies.
