Dengue fever during pregnancy: Although many types of diseases attack during the rainy season, diseases like dengue and malaria spread very quickly. In the last few decades, the ravages caused by dengue have spread widely during the monsoon season. Although dengue is dangerous for everyone, the risk becomes higher when it comes to pregnant women.
Health experts say that dengue infection during pregnancy poses many health risks to the mother as well as the unborn child. Let us know what kinds of risks the unborn child may face if dengue occurs during pregnancy.
Due to dengue fever during pregnancy, the weight of the unborn child decreases.
Health experts say that if a woman gets dengue fever during pregnancy, it also affects the growth of the child in the womb. Due to dengue fever, the child growing in the mother’s womb may also face a low birth rate. At the same time, due to dengue fever, the risk of hemorrhage, i.e. brain hemorrhage in the unborn child also increases.
If the mother is suffering from dengue fever, there is a possibility of premature delivery of the child. Apart from this, if the dengue fever worsens, there is a risk of miscarriage in the first trimester. Let us tell you that if the mother is suffering from dengue fever, the risk of fluctuations like vertical transmission to the child also increases significantly.
Low maternal immunity increases the risk
In fact, during pregnancy, the mother’s immunity becomes very low. In such a situation, dengue infection can affect the body as well as the health of the unborn child. Health experts say that although it is too early to say that the risk of miscarriage increases with every occurrence of dengue fever. But this disease definitely affects the fetus when the mother crosses the first trimester.
In such a situation, the expectant mother should take all possible measures to protect herself. Many previous reports claim that any disease transmitted to the child from the mother hinders its development. It hinders the development of the child and also does not allow its weight to increase. Along with this, the risk of premature birth and stillbirth also increases. The psychological pressure of an infected mother also affects the child. In such a situation, the mother should eat healthy food, maintain her immunity strong and adopt all measures to protect herself from mosquitoes.
