What is the risk of a cold during pregnancy 2 trimester?

Let's start with the fact that for pregnant women if not dangerous, then extremely undesirable any cold at any time. But especially often frightening expectant mothers have a cold during pregnancy of the 2nd trimester, for this term in the development of the fetus is considered the most responsible and important.

To begin with, we will understand what the cold threatens with pregnancy and why should pregnant women especially care for themselves?

The fact is that any disease leads to changes in the hormonal background, blood composition, often to a rise in temperature and other consequences. Therefore, on the child, or more precisely on its intrauterine development, this can also affect. In addition, many simply do not know how to be treated for a cold to pregnant women and often fall into extremes. For example, they deny any treatment, any "interference in the body", hoping only that everything will go in a natural way. And the second extreme - all kinds of folk homeopathic methods of treatment. But in pregnancy, not all herbs that we easily use in everyday life will be useful. Some herbs have side effects, for example, stimulation of the nervous system and can even provoke a miscarriage.

Therefore, if the cold during pregnancy is 2 trimester - it's your case, then without any attempts at self-treatment, consult a doctor to take only those drugs that will not have a negative impact on the development of the baby.

If you have caught a cold during pregnancy 2 trimester, for example, 14 weeks, then you know that at this time the baby is forming an endocrine system. At the 15-16th week, the formation of bone tissue and so on. Therefore, to let go of the disease, of course, it is impossible.

How to protect yourself from this scourge, so that you are never caught cold by the cold in the pregnancy of the 2nd trimester, as well as the 3 trimester, and indeed any? Firstly, no matter how it sounded trite, but you need to prepare for pregnancy in advance. Many believe that it is enough to drink a course of vitamins, clean the body, lose weight. Here, perhaps, that's all. But at the same time women forget that it is necessary to raise the immunity in a complex way. In addition to the course of vitamins, "light" your body from the inside, so that the virus infection does not develop into something serious, but is suppressed by the body's defenses at the very beginning, as they say, in the bud.

Do hardening, take a contrast shower, which is known for its medicinal properties. It should be taken as follows: 2 minutes warm water, 2 minutes cool, and so alternate several times, ending, of course, with cool water. Then comes the turn of rubbing the towel.

After the first week of such a tempering, you will feel an improvement in general condition and get sick with colds much less often.
Therefore, during pregnancy, the likelihood of dropping off with fever is reduced by 60%! Agree, the figure is impressive.

In addition, when you are already pregnant, take preventive measures. Some believe that now you need to lock yourself at home for all 9 months, but this is not an option. By this you only weaken your health.

Walk - a lot, often and with pleasure. But choose quiet places, for example, in the park area. That is, walk not in crowded places, where there is a high probability of catching an infection, especially in the autumn-winter period.

Maintain the body with vitamins. And it is desirable not only in tablets, but in juices. Again, in this case, a doctor's consultation is necessary. Because, for example, orange juice, although rich in vitamins, but can also be the cause of an allergy, not only you, but the child. The same rule applies to all citrus fruits.
So, a cold in pregnancy is easier to prevent, rather than treat and constantly execute yourself for not being able to avoid it.
