Does pregnant woman catch a cold to have an effect to fetal

In early pregnancy, especially 5-12 weeks of pregnancy, influenza virus may invade the fetus through placenta and lead to malformation, intrauterine growth retardation or stillbirth. For pregnant women in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, because each organ of the fetus has basically differentiated, the impact of viruses and drugs on fetal abnormalities is significantly reduced. However, if the cold symptoms are severe, lasting for a long time, coupled with continuous high fever, the mental condition of pregnant women is poor, and it is easy to lead to premature delivery, fetal distress, and even fetal death. Pregnant women are also prone to show serious complications such as decreased resistance and sepsis, so they cannot be taken lightly.
