No these viruses do not pass through the placental barrier. The baby is safe and sound in it's happy little environment.

No, there isn't. I'm currently 29 weeks pregnant, getting over the flu and salmonella poisoning. The only concern is with the medication you should take. I've only been able to take phenegram for the nausea and vomiting that came with the salmonella and stuff like tylenol cold/flu for the flu.

in the beginning, I observed your further remark approximately no longer having your Drs #. you may desire to have your Drs telephone #, so which you may desire to discover that first. It looks such as you in basic terms have a chilly. At 38 weeks your toddler is totally developed and additionally you're finished term, so in case you're so uncomfortable which you arent waiting to sleep or function comfortably, except your Dr advised you otherwise, pass forward and take some chilly drugs to alleviate your indications in case you opt for it. It doesnt sound like hard artwork when you consider which you have trouble-loose chilly symtoms. while my hard artwork began, i became into confident that I had the flu because of the fact my entire physique injury, i became into throwing up, and became into working a fever on and rancid. i became into then advised that early hard artwork could reason flu-like indications. i'm hoping you sense extra suited quickly!

I don't think so. But any medications the mother takes internally will pass into the baby's body as well. Many medications are o.k. Check with your doctor first. I had bronchitis and pneumonia with one pregnancy and had lots of medications..."baby" is now 7 years old and top of the class!!!

Apply it to this little tidbit of information.
An unborn baby will not catch a cold!

Having first hand experience of this (being pregnant and having a cold) I would say that they are winding you up. In other words.....no truth watsoever.

Another worry you might have: can constant coughing hurt the baby? Our ob/gyn told us just this week "nope, don't worry about that either."
