Can I keep a baby if I get pregnant with a cold?

When a woman is pregnant, many unexpected things may happen, the most common of which is a cold. So, can a child conceived due to a cold be kept? This is a question many people ask. Generally speaking, it will not affect the fetus. If you get pregnant during a cold, you can still have the baby. However, if you use certain medicines when you have a cold, and these medicines can easily cause fetal malformations, it is better not to have the baby for safety reasons. Let us now take a closer look at the question of whether it is okay to keep a child conceived during a cold.

In early pregnancy, the effect of drugs on the fetus is an all-or-nothing concept. If the drugs have an effect on the fetus, the most likely possibility is miscarriage. If there are no symptoms of miscarriage, there is usually no problem. 999 cold granules usually have no effect on the fetus.

The effect of drugs on the fetus depends on the specific time and stage of pregnancy:

1. Before fertilization to the third week of pregnancy - there is basically no effect on the fetus. Medication before fertilization has no effect. Within 2 weeks after fertilization, if the fertilized egg is affected by drugs and radiation, it will be naturally eliminated or miscarried before implantation. It is a safe period.

2. The period from the 3rd week to the 7th week of pregnancy is the most sensitive period to drugs and radiation. The fetus's central nervous system is formed, and important organs such as the heart, eyes, and limbs also begin to form. The fetus is extremely susceptible to external factors such as drugs and radiation, which can lead to fetal malformations. This is a "highly sensitive period to teratogenicity." Cell division is accelerated, so they are most affected by drugs and radiation.

3. From the 8th to the 11th week of pregnancy - don't be careless, and pay attention to drugs and radiation. It is also an important period for the formation of fetal organs. However, this is mainly the formation period of small parts such as fingers and toes, so the impact of drugs and radiation will not be as great as in the first three weeks, but it still needs to be treated with caution.

4. From the 12th to the 15th week of pregnancy - basically no effect on the fetus. The above content is for reference only. Strictly follow the doctor's instructions for prenatal check-ups. There is no problem as long as the results of the prenatal check-ups are good.
