Pregnant women are people with special physique, and their immunity will decline after pregnancy, which leads to many women in the early stage of pregnancy, in addition to the common symptoms of early pregnancy, but also prone to colds.
What harm does a cold have at the beginning of pregnancy?
Early pregnancy (pregnancy 1? 3 months) is the key period for the formation of placenta and the differentiation of various organs of the embryo. If you catch a cold at this stage, it will do great harm to the fetus. After the influenza virus invades the body, it reproduces and produces toxins. The toxins act on the body, causing metabolic disorder and rising body temperature. High fever and toxins can directly damage fetal brain cells, resulting in low intelligence after birth.

Cold symptoms in early pregnancy should be treated actively. Generally speaking, people who have only a stuffy nose and a slight headache do not need to take medicine. They should drink plenty of boiled water and have a full rest. They can also use some traditional Chinese medicines, such as Ganmao Granules and Ganmao Capsules, to heal themselves quickly.
Various signs of pregnancy 1. Menstruation is delayed.
Under normal circumstances, healthy women's menstruation comes on time once a month. If your menstruation has been very regular, but your menstruation has been delayed by 1 week or even longer this month, then consider whether there is the possibility of pregnancy.
