Winter is the time of the flu season, and pregnant women are a special group, resistance weakened pregnant women in this period will appear nasal congestion, runny nose, headache and cough and other symptoms, severe may also appear limb pain, high fever and so on, that this influenza on the fetus how to influence ?

What is the impact of influenza on the fetus

Pregnant women suffering from influenza, the embryo or fetus may have the following effects:

1, the incidence of miscarriage, preterm delivery, stillbirth is high. Separation and culture of aborted fetal tissues reveals that a large number of viruses survive in many vital organs of stillborn fetuses, and it is these viruses that disrupt the normal development of fetal tissues and bring about fatal damage. The younger the infected fetus, the greater the risk. In addition, influenza can cause hyperthermia, toxemia, hypoxia, dehydration and acidosis, which may cause great damage to the mother's body, and may also affect the placenta, affecting the blood circulation and oxygen supply of the fetus, and ultimately affecting the development of the fetus.

2, leading to fetal malformation. Animal experiments have shown that maternal hyperthermia can lead to anencephaly in the foetal anterior neural tube closure stage. There are similar reports in humans, so the incidence of severe viral colds, hyperthermia, and fetal malformations in the first trimester of pregnancy is high.

3. Harm to the newborn. If the mother suffers from influenza in the prenatal period, it is easy to transmit the virus to the fetus, and cause neonatal morbidity, the latter rapid onset, often with complications, and very easy to deteriorate.

Influenza during pregnancy, especially early pregnancy, may have a fatal effect on the embryo or fetus, so pregnant women should pay special attention to prevent influenza.

Pregnant women to prevent influenza should do

1, pregnant women should try to avoid going to crowded, lively, crowded public **** place, because on the one hand, these places have dirty air, affecting the supply of oxygen to the fetus; on the other hand, the public **** place of pathogenic microorganisms in the density of the place is much higher than other areas, especially during the influenza epidemic, and the pregnant woman resistance is poor, it is easy to infected with the disease.

2, when you go out, you should wear a mask, often use salt water to gargle, indoor air circulation should pay attention to, keep clean, such as around the influenza patient should be given indoor air disinfection.

3, life should be regular, do not be too tired, should ensure that sleep every day in about 10 hours, dietary diversity, do not eat, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as well as a sufficient amount of protein food.

4, strengthen the physical exercise, more outdoor activities, more sunshine, improve the body's adaptability to climate change.

In order to improve the quality of our population and prevent birth defects, special attention should be paid to influenza that can cause high fever and other complications. Especially in the early stages of pregnancy, fetal organs and the nervous system in the differentiation and development stage, should be highly alert to the occurrence of congenital developmental anomalies.
