During pregnancy, a woman's body is constantly changing and may be more vulnerable to infectious diseases. Some infectious diseases, such as rubella, toxoplasmosis and cytomegalovirus, can be dangerous to the fetus and cause serious health problems, including deafness, blindness and mental retardation.
A particularly dangerous infectious disease for pregnant women is HIV. If a woman with HIV does not receive adequate treatment, she can transmit the virus to her baby during pregnancy, birth or breastfeeding. Appropriate treatment can significantly reduce the risk of transmitting HIV to your baby.
To minimize the risk of contracting infectious diseases during pregnancy, pregnant women should follow the following recommendations:
Stay up to date with recommended vaccinations during pregnancy
Practice good hygiene measures, such as washing your hands frequently
Avoid contact with pets and raw foods, such as red meat and raw eggs
Avoid unprotected sex
Talk to your doctor about your health concerns during pregnancy and follow their recommendations
Remember that prevention and appropriate treatment are the best ways to protect the health of the woman and the fetus during pregnancy. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, speak with your doctor to discuss the best care plan for you and your baby.
