The health of her child is important for every woman. Therefore, you need to take care of him from the very planning or the onset of pregnancy. For the entire period, doctors strongly do not recommend expectant mother take any medication. But sometimes it turns out to be simply necessary.

Modern manufacturers of medicines produce a variety of means with which the prevention of colds is carried out. During pregnancy, such drugs are not always allowed. Every expectant mother should remember the main rule: no medications can be used on their own. If you have signs of illness, then you should seek help from specialists.

Watch out during cold weather

It should always be carried out during pregnancy. But special attention is paid to it in cold weather. If it's damp and windy outside, you can easily catch an infection. Note that viruses spread best during cold, but not frosty periods. If the temperature outside the window is below zero, then the chances of getting sick are significantly reduced.

It is very important to pay attention to your clothes. Choose it according to the weather. Do not try to dress warmly: you can easily sweat and catch a cold. If your journey takes a long time, then take a thermos with you in a warm drink: tea or fruit drink. Hardening is a good way to boost immunity, but only before conception. If you are already pregnant, then such events are worth turning out to be.

Protect yourself from infection

Medicines for prophylaxis are usually not recommended for use. Therefore, it is gentle for the expectant mother to take care of her health on her own. Try to avoid crowded places, during epidemics it is worth staying at home altogether. But here, too, it is important to follow certain rules: ventilate the room as often as possible, the air around you should be humid and cool. Be sure to refuse to receive guests.

If you cannot afford to sit out the epidemic at home, then use masks. They need to be changed every two hours. Infection is inevitably transmitted through contact with a person: through the air, handshakes, documents. You can catch a disease even in a store, a bus, or your own entrance. Therefore, it is so important to wash your hands thoroughly with antibacterial soap when you get home. Use hand sanitizers throughout the day. Do not hold your brushes to your face and of course do not eat with dirty hands.

Use folk remedies

The safest prevention of colds during pregnancy is folk remedies. But in this you need to know when to stop. You should not drink broths in liters and eat honey in kilograms. This can lead to allergies. It is worth noting that such a reaction develops not only in expectant mothers, but also in their babies. Subsequently, the child is born with an allergy. So, what can you do to prevent colds during pregnancy?

• Herbs: chamomile, calendula, mint, eucalyptus. Gargle with decoctions of these plants. They will have a bactericidal, antiseptic, antiviral effect. These herbs can be brewed in low concentrations for tea, but always use caution.
• Onion and garlic. These two plants are considered There is a myth that garlic should not be consumed in the first trimester of pregnancy. Doctors are skeptical about such a statement and assure: within reasonable limits, it is possible.
• Sources of vitamin C: orange, lemon, parsley, cabbage. These products will fill the vitamin deficiency in the body and help to increase immunity. It is important to consume them raw.
• Ginger tea. This drink is considered a natural immunomodulator. It can be consumed, but it is worth limiting the volume and concentration. Start your morning with a cup of light ginger tea and a spoonful of honey, and your immune system will be significantly stronger.

Rinsing the nose is a surefire prevention of colds

Use a variety of saline solutions and drops. They are injected into the nasal cavity in order to cleanse, moisturize, relieve swelling. The presence of salt helps to draw out excess fluid from the mucous membranes, which makes breathing easier. In addition, the solution promotes the regeneration of inflamed and damaged tissues. If you come into contact with an infection, your nose and throat become the passageway for it into your body. Therefore, upon returning home, it is imperative to cleanse these mucous surfaces.

The virus is unable to hit its target in a few hours. You can easily get rid of pathogenic microorganisms, and this will prevent infection. The saline solution can be prepared by yourself or you can use the well-known sodium chloride. Also, the pharmacy sells special devices that simplify the manipulation of cleansing: "Dolphin", "Rinostop", "Humer" and so on.

Drugs for prevention: immunomodulators

Prevention and treatment of colds during pregnancy can be carried out with drugs that increase immunity. If earlier you had to use those without a doctor's prescription, now it is prohibited. Many medicines of this nature also have an antiviral effect. Indications for the appointment of immunostimulants are frequent colds accompanied by complications, a high probability of infection, and sluggish bacterial pathologies.

It is necessary to remember the list of medications that are categorically contraindicated to use during pregnancy: "Immunal", "Isoprinosin" or "Groprinosin", "Cycloferon", "Bronchomunal", "Proteflazid", "Amiksin" and so on. The list of dangerous drugs is endless. It is much easier to say what can be used. Prevention of colds during pregnancy can be carried out by the following means: "Oscillococcinum", "Magne B6", "Viferon" (from 14 weeks), "Arbidol".

If you are sick ...

What if the prevention of flu and colds during pregnancy was ineffective? At the first symptoms of infection, treatment should be started immediately. Its basis is the mode:

1. Give up work and stay at home: get more rest and lie down, keep calm.
2. Drink plenty of fluids. It can be plain water, tea, fruit drink. Don't overuse raspberries (especially in the first and last trimester). Replace it with cranberries if possible.
3. If you have no appetite, do not force yourself to eat. Don't worry that the little one inside you will be hungry. It is much more important now to regain your well-being.

Many expectant mothers do not want to see a doctor and try to eliminate the disease on their own. This approach is possible, but once again it is worth recalling the prohibition of any drugs. It is imperative to see a specialist in the following cases:

• The body temperature rises to 38 degrees.
• You are tormented by cough, headache, photophobia.
• There is abdominal pain, diarrhea.
• The runny nose becomes thick, the discharge turns green.
• You don't get better within 2-3 days.

Fever and pain

Prevention of colds during pregnancy (for early dates especially) does not always work out. This is due to the natural decrease in immunity. It is necessary so that the body does not reject the fetus. If the infection does occur, and you have a headache, then it is permissible to take an antispasmodic. The safest and most popular are "No-Shpa" and "Drotaverin". They are not contraindicated for expectant mothers.

If the body temperature rises, then it must be controlled. It is worth taking antipyretics if the mercury on the thermometer has risen to 37.6. The safest medicine in such a situation would be "Paracetamol". It is permissible to use "Ibuprofen". "Analgin" and "Aspirin" are strictly prohibited. These drugs can damage the fetus.

Runny nose and nasal congestion

The prevention of colds during early pregnancy does not always pay off. Every third expectant mother in the first trimester suffers a runny nose. This phenomenon in itself is not dangerous for the baby in the womb, but it is unpleasant for the woman. A safe and proven remedy for the common cold is Grippferon spray and drops. It should be noted that they can also be used for prevention purposes. This medication is allowed for expectant mothers throughout pregnancy. It has antiviral and immunomodulatory effects.

With a runny nose of a bacterial nature and prolonged chronic rhinitis, Pinosol is prescribed. This preparation contains only natural herbal ingredients. Note that it is better not to use it for women with a tendency to allergies. All vasoconstrictor drugs are prohibited (especially in the first trimester). But if the swelling in the nose is such that the expectant mother is forced to breathe through her mouth, the drugs can be prescribed in minimal doses.

How to relieve a sore throat?

What other means can be used to prevent colds during pregnancy? In the early stages, as well as later, you can use the solution "Miramistin". This drug has antiseptic, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal effects. The spray is effective for all diseases. If an infection has occurred, then the drug should be irrigated with the throat up to 6 times a day, or use a diluted rinse solution. Miramistin perfectly disinfects and heals, but it does not have an analgesic effect.

You can get rid of perspiration and discomfort with the help of Hexoral and Tantum Verde preparations. According to the doctor's prescription, it is permissible to use Ingalipt, Gedelix, Doctor Mom. Caress your throat often with chamomile and sage broths.

Antibiotic use

Prevention or early timing is not so important) is never carried out with antibiotics. These drugs are prescribed solely according to indications. They are strictly prohibited for up to 14 weeks. Later, medications are prescribed only after the examination. The doctor, before prescribing a medicine, weighs the pros and cons. Antibiotics are indicated in the following cases:

1. The high temperature persists for more than 5 days.
2. It is joined by a cough with wheezing in the bronchi and lungs.
3. The secretion from the nose turns green.
4. There is a purulent coating in the throat.

There are not many antibiotics approved during pregnancy. The most commonly prescribed drugs are the penicillin series: "Flemoxin", "Amoxiclav". Less commonly prescribed macrolides "Sumamed", "Aziromycin".

With the onset of pregnancy, the female body is physiologically arranged, the immune system is suppressed in simple words- immunity is suppressed. This is necessary so that the maternal organism does not perceive - a fertilized egg (zygote, embryo) as a foreign organism. In fact, an embryo is an object consisting of a foreign protein.

With the onset of pregnancy and during its course, the risk of developing a cold in the form of influenza, ARVI or ARI increases. Therefore, expectant mothers are not recommended to visit busy places and use public transport.

Cold as a sign of pregnancy

A cold during pregnancy can be the very first symptom of being in an interesting position. Immediately after conception, the concentration of two hormones, estrogen and progesterone, rises sharply. In the early stages of pregnancy, this causes a moderate increase in temperature, its fluctuations from normal to subfebrile (37.5 ° C) - chills.

A woman may not suspect that she is pregnant, but hormonal changes are already making themselves felt. As well as elevated temperature from the first days of pregnancy appear:

• body aches;
• general weakness;
• drowsiness and fatigue;
• lethargy and weakness;
• runny nose (rhinitis).

These "cold" symptoms can occur against the background of normal temperature, even before the delay in menstruation, under the influence of a "hormonal surge". In the initial stages, a cold may turn out to be pregnancy.

In any case, you need to remember that temperatures up to 38 ° C do not require radical treatment, you cannot knock it down with paracetamol or any other antipyretic drugs.

Runny nose during pregnancy

Such a ball thing as a runny nose can be a manifestation of various diseases, not necessarily colds. For example:

• ARVI;
• rhinosinusitis;
• allergic rhinitis;
• vasomotor rhinitis;
• rhinitis of pregnant women;
• 3 trimester - general edematous syndrome.

In the third trimester, the body prepares for childbirth,. In this case, swelling of the nasal mucosa and congestion are manifestations of edematous syndrome.

"Hormonal rhinitis" or a runny nose of pregnant women can accompany a woman all 280 days - until delivery. And no treatment is required. Allergic rhinitis and vasomotor rhinitis (in pregnant women it has more vivid manifestations than before conception) against the background of a rise in temperature to 37.2 - 37.5 ° C can be perceived by a woman as symptoms of a cold, but in fact they are not.

Colds in early pregnancy may not be a symptom of the disease. Therefore, differential diagnostics should be carried out by a doctor and it is impossible to treat yourself on your own, it is undesirable to take antipyretic drugs. The doctor will focus not only on complaints of a stuffy nose and fever, but also on the test results, local manifestations.

Acute respiratory viral infections during pregnancy have similar symptoms, but the infectious damaging agent (virus) can be any of this large group: respiratory syncytial infection, parainfluenza, rhinoviruses, adenoviruses, reoviruses, influenza viruses, and others.

How does a cold affect the fetus during pregnancy?

Unfortunately, this question cannot be answered, it depends on:

• the state of health of a woman before pregnancy;
• from the period when the woman fell ill with a cold (1 trimester of pregnancy is the most unfavorable, susceptible and most delicate);
• the presence of aggravating somatic diseases.

There is no doubt that the fetus suffers from a mother's cold during pregnancy:

• he has oxygen starvation (hypoxia);
• the risk of congenital defects is not excluded;
• a cold can be complicated by the threat of termination of pregnancy;
• secondary infections can join.

Symptoms of the common cold during pregnancy

A true cold during pregnancy manifests itself in the same way as in a "pre-pregnant" body. Among the symptoms of ARVI during pregnancy:

• runny nose;
• acute sore throat;
• sneeze;
• headaches and pain in the eyeballs;
• weakness, weakness, dizziness;
• joint and muscle pain, body aches;
• loose stools;
• temperature increase;
• enlarged lymph nodes.

Influenza during pregnancy

Influenza during pregnancy, in contrast to rhinovirus, adenovirus infection, has more pronounced symptoms of intoxication ( heat, muscle pain, joint aches, severe fatigue). They prevail over catarrhal phenomena. Influenza is characterized by an acute onset against the background of complete well-being. A pregnant woman can clearly answer the question when she got sick to the nearest minute.

Influenza is dangerous by the development of severe forms of the disease, the addition of a bacterial infection. Therefore, the treatment of influenza in pregnant women must necessarily take place in a hospital.

How to treat a cold during pregnancy?

In the first place in treatment is adherence to the regime: you need to get enough sleep, limit physical activity, be very attentive to yourself and to changes in your condition. Because during the illness there should not be any factors for which additional expenditures of strength are necessary. All symptoms of intoxication with ARVI are relieved by drinking plenty of fluids. A cold during pregnancy with a temperature of more than 38.5 ° C requires the appointment of antipyretic drugs.

In such a state, when the nose is so stuffed up that breathing is difficult and the pregnant woman cannot sleep because of this, nasal decognestants (vasoconstrictor drugs) are prescribed. In most cases, they are safe, but if they are taken occasionally: during the day, no more than 3-4 times in a short course. During pregnancy, due to increased blood circulation, the drug enters the bloodstream more than in a non-pregnant body and systemic manifestations can be observed - increased blood pressure, angiospasms. Placental vasospasm leads to impaired blood supply to the fetus and hypoxia, an increase in the baby's heart rate.

Cold medicines during pregnancy

Practice shows that during pregnancy, women often prescribe antiviral medication to themselves. But it has been proven that they only "work" with the flu. With the rest of ARVI, they have no evidence base and their reception is useless at best.

The effect of drugs for ARVI during pregnancy:

• Viferon suppositories for colds are prescribed quite often, but they are ineffective. This is a group of interferons, an analogue of Viferon - Biferon. It can be used as an adjuvant for the treatment of ARVI during pregnancy, but not as the main one.
• , since it is not reliably known how they affect the fetus. There is very little research in this area.
• Herbs and dietary supplements are highly discouraged. The generally accepted principle applies here - that which has not been thoroughly studied is not to be applied.
• Vitamins are drugs that help the body fight disease. They are needed. But if antiviral drugs and other medications have already been prescribed, it is better to postpone their intake until the main treatment is completed. Several drugs in blood plasma can interact and have different effects than expected.
• It used to be thought that vitamin C helps to heal and shorten the time of illness. Studies have been carried out in which it has been proven that globally vitamin C does not affect the course of ARVI. For prevention, this biologically active vitamin is also not worth taking. For this purpose, a large dosage is used - 1 gram. At this high concentration, the vitamin crosses the placenta and could theoretically have an effect on the baby. What this effect will be has not been studied.
• Antibiotics - drugs with antimicrobial action - are not prescribed in the onset of colds (influenza and ARVI), since they do not act on the virus. Antibiotic treatment at the onset of a viral infection does not prevent the development of a bacterial infection in the future. If a bacterial infection develops while taking antibiotics, then you will have to change the pills to another group of drugs. Microorganisms develop resistance - they become insensitive to the drug. Therefore, treatment with any antibiotics is prescribed only by the doctor on the basis of the presence of a bacterial infection.

How to bring down a high temperature during pregnancy?

High temperature during pregnancy is one of the most unfavorable factors affecting the fetus. Experiments on animals have shown that a high temperature in the 1st trimester can cause malformations. The damaging effect of temperature begins when the temperature rises by more than 1.5 degrees and lasts for at least 8 hours.

Paracetamol

In order to reduce the temperature during pregnancy, you can take drugs that can be used by the baby and you should not wait for it to go down on its own.

At the beginning of pregnancy, the temperature can be 37.2 - 37.5 ° C - this is normal and does not require treatment. But if the temperature is 38.5 ° C, this temperature must be brought down.

The safest and most studied drug from the group of antipyretic drugs is paracetamol. It can be taken for pains of any location (head, throat,). However, like all drugs, side effects are inherent in it. That is, an adverse effect on the mother and, in high concentrations, on the fetus is possible. Paracetamol is hepatotoxic - it can affect the liver. During pregnancy, for colds, you can use the drug in a dose of up to 2 grams, in extreme cases - up to 4. In the 3rd trimester, paracetamol is recommended to be taken in a dose of no more than 1 gram and in monotherapy (not in combination with other drugs, such as caffeine, vasoconstrictors).

Analgin

Side effects of analgin are very rare, despite this they are very significant: agranulocytosis, the risk of developing nephroblastoma (Williams' tumor) and leukemia in a child increases. During pregnancy, with a cold, metamizole (analgin) should not be taken, its use in the 3rd trimester is especially dangerous. The use of analgin is associated with the development of agranulocytosis in a newborn. Combined preparations of metamizole sodium - also cannot be taken.

Agranulocytosis is a sharp decrease in leukocytes and monocytes in the blood, the child's body immediately becomes available to bacterial, fungal infections, since there are no cells in the blood that can resist diseases.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for the treatment of colds in pregnant women in the 3rd trimester

Diclofenac, ketanal, ketarol, ibuprofen - if indicated and with the permission of a doctor, can be used in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy. In the third trimester, only paracetamol is again allowed for use.

Risks for a baby when taking NSAIDs in the 3rd trimester:

• Premature closure of the ductus arteriosus leading to pulmonary hypertension. It is very difficult to treat it.
• The use of NSAIDs can postpone the date of birth - it initiates a prolonged pregnancy.
• Increased blood loss during childbirth, as the blood coagulation function in the mother decreases.
• Formation of diaphragmatic hernias.
• Delayed intrauterine development of the fetus.
• Decrease in quantity amniotic fluid.
• When taking NSAIDs immediately before childbirth - at the end of the term - the risk of necrotizing enterocolitis in a newborn is higher.
• Cerebrovascular hemorrhage in a child

The drug of choice for lowering the temperature during a cold during pregnancy is paracetamol. Do not take Analgin and its combinations with other active ingredients. Avoid for treatment in the 3rd trimester of any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory diseases (after). Before and it is not advisable to take any pain relievers and antipyretic drugs.

Preventing colds during pregnancy

With the help of preventive measures, you can prevent colds (flu and SARS). During pregnancy, it is very undesirable to attend public events: theaters, exhibitions, concerts, especially during the period of colds (autumn, winter). Public transport should be avoided. These simple steps are also recommended when planning a pregnancy, when spouses are trying to get pregnant.

It is necessary to be very careful with yourself and observe others during a flu epidemic, in order to notice and isolate yourself in time, or immediately exclude contact with a sick family member.

If someone is ill at home and there is no way to send the sick person to relatives, for example, a husband or a child, it is necessary to "move" the patient to a separate room, provide them with separate dishes and regular ventilation of the rooms. If the house has a portable UFO lamp for home use, it is imperative to "quartz" the premises.

If there are children preschool age, then it is advisable to interrupt the child's attendance at kindergarten, developmental activities, etc. Children at this age often get sick, they contact their peers, exchange microflora and get sick. The baby can easily get sick, but for a pregnant mother, the infection can be quite serious.

A gauze bandage practically does not help a healthy person not to get sick. But if there is no other way out, it can and should be used, while changing every 2 hours, washing and ironing is mandatory. If there is a family member in the house who has caught a cold, everyone, both healthy and sick, needs to wear masks.

During an epidemic, it is undesirable to visit a antenatal clinic doctor. If you have the opportunity to agree with your doctor for a specific time, do it. This will reduce your risk of getting the flu while waiting in line. By order, the reception of pregnant women takes place on certain days, when only healthy pregnant women come to the reception (as in a children's clinic - the day of a healthy child). It can be any day appointed by the administration of the LCD.

If a pregnant woman accidentally contacted a sick person - on the street, in an elevator, then when you come home you need to wash your hands with soap and rinse your nose with saline, rinse your throat. This will reduce your risk of getting sick. The virus, getting on the mucous membrane for some time, simply stays on the surface and then penetrates the cells. If you come home, you wash the mucous membranes, then the chances of developing colds are reduced. The throat can be gargled with saline or chamomile tea. Do not use baking soda for rinsing, it dries mucous membranes. It can be used when there is plaque on the tonsils and needs to be loosened. It is undesirable to add iodine. It will penetrate in high concentration into the blood through the mucous membrane, and is dangerous to the fetus.

Before going outside, you can apply Oxaline ointment and Viferon ointment to the mucous membrane, it will not have an antiviral effect, but will become a mechanical barrier to the penetration of the virus. Upon returning home, rinse the nose again.

To strengthen the immune system, a pregnant woman can take vitamin D in consultation with the doctor. You can compensate for its deficiency with the help of fatty fish and eggs.

What to do if a pregnant woman is sick with ARVI or influenza?

If you experience cold symptoms in the 1-3 trimesters of pregnancy, stay at home and stay in bed. Be sure to contact a doctor from the antenatal clinic or a paramedic by phone and get advice by phone. Do not self-medicate without your doctor's approval. The maximum that you can on your own is an abundant hot drink in the form of a broth from homemade chicken, tea with fresh or frozen raspberries or currants (not to be confused with jam, in which there is a minimum of useful substances after cooking). You can drink warm milk with honey if you are not allergic to bee products.

The liquid that gets into the general bloodstream when drinking tea reduces the general intoxication and the effect on the fetus, due to its strengthening. Phytomixtures - tinctures of chamomile, ginseng, licorice are extremely harmful to the fetus, as they are prepared with alcohol.

Folk remedies for the treatment of colds during pregnancy

SARS during pregnancy. Consequences of ARVI during pregnancy

In the autumn and spring, the topic of ARVI during pregnancy is acute. It is very difficult to save yourself, the body is already loaded with bearing a fetus, there is no strength left to maintain immunity. And sharp fluctuations in the weather and an abundance of sneezing people around increase the chances of getting sick at times. Let's try to figure out how dangerous this can be for the expectant mother and her baby.

What is ARVI?

It is an acute respiratory viral infection. In order for us to get sick, it takes a certain amount of viral particles, which, once they enter the body, begin to multiply. Usually, the disease manifests itself in the form of a stuffy nose, throat, and as the disease progresses, a cough begins. This is a natural defense reaction of the body. Fever, weakness and muscle aches are possible. Viruses can lie in wait for us anywhere, therefore, in order to avoid ARVI during pregnancy, you need to take preventive measures and be careful.

ARVI, ARI - what to be afraid of?

ARI, unlike its consonant counterpart, can be caused by both viruses and bacteria. There is usually no difficulty in making a diagnosis. The viral disease occurs with fever, nasal and throat congestion from the first day. Bacterial acute respiratory infections are green nasal discharge, thick expectoration from the throat.

The most dangerous ARVI during pregnancy is the flu. This is an exclusively seasonal disease, which is quite difficult. From the first day, the temperature rises sharply, there are aches in the joints, muscle pain and weakness. After 3 days, a runny nose and cough join. It takes about 7 days for the body to fight this virus.

Why is SARS so dangerous during pregnancy

Impossible to predict 100% possible consequences the disease suffered by the mother, therefore it is very important to carefully carry out preventive measures. Flu is especially dangerous in the first trimester. At this time, there is still no placental barrier, which means that all toxins and decay products will affect the fetus. The second reason is the formation of all vital systems and organs of the child. Any interference in this process can lead to the most devastating consequences.

After the beginning of the 4th month, this disease no longer poses a threat to the life and health of the child, but seriously weakens the mother's body, therefore, you need to take care of yourself throughout the entire period of bearing the baby.

The beginning of pregnancy, the cradle of life

As already mentioned, ARVI during pregnancy is dangerous at the very beginning. The fetus is just being formed and has no protection, the mother's body is busy restructuring and preparing for motherhood. Nobody knows for certain what mutations the influenza virus can cause in an embryo at a period of 3-5 weeks, but often the mother's body aborts the fetus after a disease. Apparently, protective instincts are very strong and do not allow a pathologically ill child to be born. Further, up to 14 weeks, there is a high probability of a developmental disorder of the child after the mother's illness. It is necessary to avoid ARVI by all means during pregnancy. 1 trimester is the most main period, the basis of the foundations is being formed, with which the baby (and also the mother) will continue to live. From 3 to 14 weeks, the baby's brain is formed, from 2 to 7 - the cardiovascular system, from 4 to 7 - the organs of vision, from 7 to 12 - the hearing aid, from 8 to 10 - the main organs of the abdominal cavity. In addition, the influenza virus is capable of infecting the nervous system, which is laid from the first week.

ARVI during pregnancy, 2nd trimester

Now it is no longer possible to say about a direct threat to the development of the child. But still, ARVI during pregnancy is highly undesirable to endure during this period. From 3 to 5 months, the virus is capable of disrupting the work of the placenta, making it more permeable to other microorganisms. Numerous studies show that mothers who have had the flu during this period are more likely to end up in the hospital a little ahead of time. At the same time, there is often a low labor activity, the contractions have to be stimulated.

The last three months, the quietest

If it were necessary to choose the most favorable period for ARVI during pregnancy, the 3rd trimester would undoubtedly win. The virus itself can no longer harm the formed baby, in addition, the placenta reliably protects it. The mother's body has already become accustomed to the new situation and is ready to fight back foreign cells. Moreover, it is already much easier for the doctor to carry out the treatment. The placenta will protect the child from the harmful effects of drugs, therefore, the choice for effective therapy is more than great. At this time, it makes no sense to be afraid of the flu and colds, but prevention has not hurt anyone yet.

Treatment of the expectant mother

If the disease has nevertheless overtaken, then this cannot be neglected. While at any time, you should definitely consult your doctor. Treatment of ARVI during pregnancy should take into account everything individual characteristics and be as gentle as possible. We will give basic tips that anyone can use.

• First of all, you need to ensure yourself rest and drink plenty of fluids. Tea with lemon, mineral water - this is necessary to ensure the removal of the virus and toxins from the body.
• It is considered absolutely safe to use herbal decoctions and tinctures, but do not forget that some of them may be stronger than pharmaceutical preparations. A consultation with a doctor is necessary. The most neutral option is linden. It has anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, fresh berries will become your friends: raspberries, currants, lingonberries and cranberries.
• Interferon, presented in various preparations, will help transfer the disease to more mild form... These are Viferon, Gripferon and others.

Runny nose and cough: what to do

Problems with mucous membranes do not allow breathing normally, which is not only bad for the mother, but can also cause oxygen starvation in the child. Treatment of ARVI during pregnancy necessarily includes procedures to relieve swelling of the nose and larynx. A salt water solution works well. You can buy it at the pharmacy (Aquamaris product) or prepare it yourself. For 100 g of warm water, you need to put a teaspoon of salt and instill it into the nose with a pipette. Inhalation of essential oils of sage, eucalyptus and orange is considered effective. In addition, you can warm your nose with sand or salt that has been calcined in a skillet. And drip the juice of Kalanchoe, garlic or onion into the nose, after diluting it with water in a ratio of 1/10.

Warm milk with honey is good for sore throat. You can periodically gargle with a solution of salt and soda. Lollipops with mint, sage and lemon will relieve congestion and make breathing easier. If a cough appears, then The best way to cope with it is inhalation. Add essential oils or medicinal herbs to the water and breathe over the steam several times a day.

Heat

Until the thermometer rises above 38 degrees, you do not need to knock it down. If the temperature has exceeded this threshold, vinegar rubdowns and paracetamol-based preparations are recommended. Do not forget to call an ambulance if the thermometer is close to 40 degrees.

Statistics

SARS are the most common diseases in the world. Every year every third inhabitant of the planet transfers one of its forms. The risk group includes children, the elderly and pregnant women. According to various sources, from 55 to 82% of all pregnant women suffer from this disease. At the same time, we emphasize once again how dangerous ARVI is during pregnancy. The consequences can be the most severe, and the fact that the disease passed quickly does not mean that the risk for the child is less.

What to do in order not to get sick

- this is an easy task, because all measures are simple and accessible. The child's health is still entirely dependent on the mother, so it's worth trying. You will need to limit your social circle. This does not mean that you need to lock yourself in the tower for 9 months, but the choice between a noisy party of unfamiliar faces and an evening in the company of those closest to you is obvious. Avoid crowded places and contact with sick people. Even if they are your family, find someone who will complete this task without you. Dress for the season, stay outdoors more, but avoid hypothermia.

Eating and taking vitamins is another important point... A balanced diet will allow the body to resist viruses.

Folk remedies

Stock up on dry rose hips or pharmacy syrups. From the very beginning of pregnancy, you can drink tea with it, this will support the immune system and provide many vitamins. Plain onion and garlic are two more helpers. It is good to eat them, drip juice from them for prophylaxis into the nose, and you can also spread chopped onions at home. Before leaving the house, smear your nose with oxolinic ointment, and if you go to the clinic, put on a gauze bandage. Honey and lemon help to resist various infections well, drink delicious tea with them more often. Be sure to eat more vegetables and fruits, and try to work less. A good sleep, a calm atmosphere at home - all this creates a positive attitude that helps a person maintain good immunity.

Let's summarize

No one is immune from illness, but we have many ways to avoid it in our arsenal. Of course, it may well be a situation when the expectant mother did not yet know about her interesting situation, but had already suffered a severe form of influenza, plus she was treated with strong drugs that were contraindicated in the first weeks. ARVI during pregnancy (especially 1 trimester) is fraught with fetal malformations. True, nature usually regulates these processes, and if something goes wrong in development after the flu suffered, then a miscarriage occurs. If the pregnancy persists, and you want to reliably find out how much the disease affected the child, then one thing remains - to undergo an examination. Mom can pass an analysis of hormones and amniotic fluid. If they are normal, the pregnancy continues smoothly and everything is in order according to the ultrasound scan, then, most likely, everything worked out.

How to prevent colds during pregnancy?

Given the fact that during pregnancy in women, immunity is significantly reduced in order to protect themselves from colds, it is necessary to perform certain preventive actions. The prevention of colds in pregnant women has its own characteristics, based on the use exclusively safe means, both drugs and methods traditional medicine.

Prevention rules

During pregnancy, especially in the first half of it, the use of any medications is extremely undesirable for the health of the child, so it is important to choose effective folk remedies. Moreover, you must adhere to the following rules:

In order to increase the body's defenses while carrying a child even at the stage of pregnancy planning, it is important to abandon bad habits adhering to a healthy lifestyle. You need to be in the fresh air for at least 3 hours a day, walking is especially useful for the expectant mother. By constantly reminding herself of these rules, and adhering to them, the expectant mother can limit her baby from the danger that may arise with the development of a cold.

Effective means of prevention

Herbal teas are considered the most effective preventive measures during pregnancy. However, you can drink them only if you are not allergic to certain medicinal plants. For these purposes, it is useful to drink a rosehip decoction, because the fruits of this plant are rich in vitamin C, thanks to which it allows the body to fight colds. Instead of sugar, it is useful to add a spoonful of currant jam or honey to such rosehip tea.

You can include in the diet of the expectant mother and other foods rich in vitamin C - sauerkraut, cranberries, bell peppers, lemon. A pregnant woman should not deny herself such fruits as:

• bananas;
• oranges;
• apples;
• pears;
• pineapples.

In the summer, you need to eat raspberries, strawberries, cherries and other berries that are rich in vitamins. This method of strengthening the immune system is much more effective and safer than the use of dubious synthetic vitamin complexes.

Cranberry juice has a beneficial effect on the body, it has an antiviral, antibacterial, diaphoretic and antipyretic effect. Do not forget about freshly squeezed juices, which tend to increase weakened immunity thanks to substances such as phytoncides. They prevent the growth of pathogenic microorganisms.
Aromatherapy is a good prophylactic remedy for colds, aromatic oils such as lavender, mint, and eucalyptus have an antiseptic effect. However, it is important to remember that some oils are prohibited during pregnancy, so extra care must be taken when choosing them. Onions and garlic are also good antiseptics, they do not have to be eaten, you can simply chop and spread them in all rooms of the house. As you know, immunity can also decrease from a cold when planning a pregnancy. To avoid possible complications, first you need to increase the body's defenses, and then plan the birth of a child.

Prevention of influenza in pregnant women

Prevention of influenza and ARVI in pregnant women occupies a special place in the prevention of complications associated with the consequences of the occurrence of disorders after suffering respiratory diseases. Let's take a closer look at the aspects of such preventive measures and focus the attention of expectant mothers on more effective methods of preventing ARVI during gestation.

What can be used to prevent flu in pregnant women?

Very often women in a position, trying to protect themselves from viral diseases, do not know what can be taken by pregnant women to prevent influenza, and what measures to take to prevent it.

Despite the seeming obviousness of elementary preventive measures, it will not be superfluous to list them. So, every woman expecting the birth of a child must adhere to the following rules:

1. Avoid visiting places with a large flow of people, i.e. if possible, it is necessary to limit the use of public transport, for example.
2. Expectant mothers should spend more time outdoors. In cases where this is impossible for some reason, it is worthwhile to ventilate all living quarters more often.
3. When visiting clinics and other medical institutions, it is necessary to limit contact with sick people and always use a gauze bandage.
4. Perform hand hygiene more often, especially after contact with sick people or their household items.

Subject to the above rules, influenza infection occurs much less frequently. However, if, nevertheless, a pregnant woman fell ill, then you should not despair, and even more so worry. This can negatively affect the well-being of the unborn baby.

In view of the fact that most expectant mothers know that while waiting for a baby, almost all drugs are prohibited, the question often arises: what can pregnant women take to prevent influenza in order to avoid infection.

It must be said that all prophylactic agents, according to the principle of action, are usually subdivided into: specific and non-specific. Most often, during pregnancy, non-specific drugs are used that are designed to increase the overall resistance of the body. Specific prophylaxis involves the administration of a flu vaccine.

So, among the nonspecific measures for the prevention of influenza and ARVI in pregnant women, the following are most often used:

1. Vitamin therapy- the use of vitamins of groups A, B, C increases the body's resistance to foreign bacteria and viruses. Despite all the seeming harmlessness, they should be taken with caution, and only in compliance with all the doctor's instructions.
2. Usage oxolinic ointment at a concentration of 0.25% of the substance, it can also be considered as a means of preventing influenza in pregnant women, even in the 1st trimester.
3. Plants that stimulate immunity, are also actively used to prevent the development of viral diseases in pregnant women. Among these it is necessary to name: echinacea, eleutherococcus, ginseng, aralia.
4. Homeopathic remedies for the prevention of influenza in pregnant women can be used in the 2nd and 3rd trimester, because do not have any negative effect on the woman's body and the fetus. An example of such can be Camphor 30, Oscillococcinum, Allium flail 30. However, it is not worth using them on your own, without medical advice.

What specific medications can pregnant women take?

Among the preventive medicinal products for the prevention of respiratory diseases, most often, women in position are prescribed:

• Viferon- in the form of liniment, which is used to treat the nasal passages;
• Grippferon- approved for use throughout the entire gestation period;
• Ribomunil- contains in its composition particles of bacterial protein of those pathogens that most often cause viral diseases.

All of these drugs can be used only after medical advice and in compliance with all the instructions of the doctor.

SARS during pregnancy is the most common diagnosis. You should not be afraid of this disease, because it does not carry anything terrible in itself. But you shouldn't neglect ARVI either. Because complications can be very diverse.

If you find malaise and general symptoms of the disease, you need to seek help from a doctor. Self-treatment is strictly prohibited! Detailed information regarding ARVI during pregnancy will be announced below.

ICD-10 code J06.9 Acute upper respiratory tract infection, unspecified

Causes of ARVI during pregnancy

ARVI is a viral disease, therefore, in order to get sick with ARVI, the presence of two factors is necessary: ​​weak immunity and, in fact, the virus.

The main cause of ARVI during pregnancy is considered to be the weakness of the immune defense, which arises as a result of hormonal rearrangement in the body. Additional factors contributing to a decrease in immunity may include the following conditions:

• frequent stressful and conflict situations, depressive states, nervous breakdowns;
• instability of the function of the digestive tract, intestinal dysbiosis, enterocolitis, helminthic invasions;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases, sluggish chronic diseases (for example, caries);
• hypothermia or overheating of the body.

SARS infection occurs from another sick person. Viruses are transmitted mainly by airborne droplets, but sometimes infection is possible through household items (cups, cutlery, bath and laundry accessories).

Frequent acute respiratory viral infections during pregnancy can be associated with a sharp change in the woman's lifestyle: upon learning about pregnancy, many stop all active life, switch to a "sparing regimen", spending time in anticipation of the birth of a child. This is not entirely correct: a baby in the womb, like his mother, needs fresh air, moderate physical activity, and full-fledged fortified food. You can consult your doctor and sign up for yoga classes for pregnant women, special fitness or breathing exercises. It is very important to go for walks, it is especially good to go out into nature and breathe fresh air.

SARS in early pregnancy

SARS in early pregnancy is often very frightening for expectant mothers. The fact is that all diseases associated with the respiratory system during this period are rather difficult. Complications may well arise. Moreover, ARVI during pregnancy can adversely affect the development of the baby. Which is simply unacceptable. Because the child must be healthy.

The causes of the disease can be articles of ordinary hormonal changes. After all, the immune defense is significantly reduced, which leads to the penetration of various infections into the woman's body. All protective functions are restored closer to the second trimester of pregnancy. That is why it is dangerous to get sick at the very beginning of the journey.

In the early stages of pregnancy, ARVI is carried by almost half of expectant mothers. There is nothing wrong with that. The main thing is to start timely treatment! This question does not lose its relevance, because many are susceptible to this disease. It is important to recognize ARVI during pregnancy in time and start treatment. Because "launching" the problem can lead to serious consequences.

SARS during pregnancy in the 1st trimester

Is ARVI dangerous during pregnancy in the 1st trimester and what is the risk of it? The fact is that at the very beginning of a long journey, even the simplest disease can be harmful. Therefore, you need to carefully monitor your own health. After all, ARVI can cause both serious health problems for the baby and lead to miscarriage.

It is important to monitor your own health and prevent illness. This is difficult to do due to the fact that the woman's body is weakened. It is getting harder and harder for him to fight infections. The immune system is unable to act as a barrier and block all "viruses" for some time. Therefore, you will have to take care of your health yourself.

It is necessary to understand that at this stage of pregnancy, the future of the child is in the hands of the mother. If she observes preventive measures and treats the diseases that have arisen in a timely manner, then no problems will arise. Otherwise, pathological changes may appear. ARVI during pregnancy is a rather serious disease, because everything related to the respiratory system is quite difficult for a woman in a position to tolerate.

ARVI at the 3rd week of pregnancy

If a woman falls ill with ARVI at the 3rd week of pregnancy, special care must be taken. During this period, the fetus is just beginning to gradually form. Now we need to provide the body with complete protection from external adverse factors.

The woman's immune system during this period is somewhat weakened. It is not able to perform its direct functions, namely to protect the body from the influence of adverse factors. In addition, there is no protection whatsoever for the fetus. This is why special care must be taken. This period is the most dangerous and requires a reverent attitude towards one's own health.

SARS in the early stages can lead to a number of problems. It can be both pathological changes and miscarriage.

Against this background, immunity weakens. Now it is more difficult for the body to fight diseases. Moreover, it is not easy to avoid them. The barrier functions of the immune system are not able to cope with their main functions. In this regard, any infection can enter the body. The same goes for colds.

In fact, SARS in the early stages is very dangerous. If you do not start to treat it on time, then pathologies may develop. In addition, miscarriage is not excluded. In general, the first trimester is the most vulnerable. A woman is capable of losing a child, no matter how regrettable it may sound. Therefore, you need to monitor your health very carefully.

The woman's immune system is not able to provide barrier functions, so any infection can enter the body. Thus, harm will be done to both the mother and the baby. In addition, the placenta is unable to protect the fetus from negative influences. Based on this, problems may arise.

In the first trimester, you must carefully monitor your own health. Because at this stage pathologies can arise and even a miscarriage can occur. Even a common cold can cause serious harm.

What pathologies can a child develop with untimely ARVI treatment? First of all, the nervous system suffers, this is fraught with serious consequences. In addition, miscarriage can occur. The first trimester is the most difficult. The body is just beginning to get used to its main task and prepare for the process of carrying a baby for a long time.

ARVI during pregnancy in the 2nd trimester

ARVI during pregnancy in the 2nd trimester does not carry such severe consequences as in earlier periods. During this period, the common cold does not carry such a danger. Therefore, you should not worry too much, but you do not need to start the disease either. By the second trimester, the fetus is mature, it is no longer affected by viral infections.

It is definitely not worth relaxing. Postponed ARVI during this period can cause fetoplacental insufficiency. This expression means a violation of the functions of the placenta. This phenomenon can lead to oxygen starvation. In addition, during the second trimester, a cold can affect the baby's nervous system.

During this period, the woman begins to feel much better. The barrier functions of the immune system are ready for fruitful work again. Now many infectious diseases are no longer so terrible. In addition, the risk of miscarriage and various pathologies is practically excluded. The only thing that can happen is a disturbance from the nervous system. Which, in itself, is not a very good process. That is why a woman should begin to take good care of herself from the very first day of pregnancy.

Now it is important to diagnose the disease on time and start treating it. There is still a risk for the child, but it is not so great. Therefore, a lot depends on the woman herself. But it is clearly not worth relaxing, there is a difficult process ahead, the end result of which is the birth of a baby. So ARVI during pregnancy in the second trimester should be immediately "removed".

ARVI at 16 weeks of gestation

Second trimester or ARVI at 16 weeks of gestation. It sounds intimidating, but there is nothing dangerous about it. Much depends on the woman herself, if he carefully monitors his health, then nothing terrible can happen.

During this period, the fetus is actively forming, but despite this, it is protected by the placenta and the mother's immune system. Therefore, infectious diseases have very little chance of causing harm. Indeed, no pathologies are scary at this stage. It is important to just monitor your own health and prevent the development of the disease.

Miscarriages and pathologies are left behind, now you can breathe a sigh of relief. But it's too early to relax. Because ARVI can harm the baby's nervous system, which is fraught with consequences. Based on this, the elimination of colds and its timely treatment is a mandatory process.

SARS during pregnancy requires timely and correct treatment at all times. Because we are talking about the health of the baby, in the first place. After all, all negative factors can be reflected from mother to child.

ARVI during pregnancy in the 3rd trimester

SARS during pregnancy in the 3rd trimester is not dangerous, but requires timely elimination. Any woman worries about how the disease can affect her child. This is normal, because taking care of the baby is one of the most important tasks of any mother. Therefore, it is simply necessary to monitor your own health.

Much depends on the duration of pregnancy, because at a later time, ARVI is no longer so dangerous. During the third trimester, it is quite possible to breathe a sigh of relief. Because viral infections are no longer capable of inflicting a strong blow on the baby. The fact is that the placenta already protects the fetus. It also serves as a kind of conductor, both oxygen and nutrients. In addition, it is a barrier against negative interactions with the outside world. Therefore, there is no point in being afraid of ARVI in the third trimester.

The disease cannot be started. But you need to start treating it on time. Because, nevertheless, some problems may arise. In general, ARVI during pregnancy in late stages does not pose any danger.

ARVI at 27 weeks of gestation

ARVI at 27 weeks of gestation is there a risk of getting serious problems? In fact, there is always a risk, but much depends on the strength of the immunity of the mother herself.

At this stage, the fetus is formed, so no infectious diseases carry such a danger. The second trimester is not at all dangerous. The only thing that can arise is problems with the nervous system.

You need to start the fight against ARVI from the very first day. It is recommended not to resort to medication. It is quite possible to just lie down and take on the armament of folk remedies. If the temperature does not drop and does not become easier at all, it is not worth pulling. It is recommended that you immediately seek help from your doctor.

It is important at this stage to quickly get rid of a cold. But it is better not to allow it at all. Preventive measures are perfect for this. The best of these are walking and eating well.

SARS during pregnancy is not at all a sentence, especially at a later date. It is important to just start treatment on time.

SARS at 28 weeks of gestation

If you find ARVI at the 28th week of pregnancy, then you should not worry. This disease is especially dangerous in the first trimester and a little in the second. Therefore, at 28 weeks you should not worry.

At this stage, the woman's immune system completely protects the baby from the effects of harmful external factors. In addition, the placenta itself and amniotic fluid are also a powerful barrier and prevent infection from entering the baby's body.

But, despite this, it is clearly not worth "relaxing". Because during this period, problems with the nervous system may arise, as a result of an incorrectly cured ARVI. Therefore, you still need to show some vigilance and take care of your own health, so as not to harm the baby.

SARS during pregnancy can harm both mother and baby. But this happens only in case of untimely elimination of this phenomenon. Therefore, in order not to expose yourself and the child to danger, you need to immediately seek help from a specialist. SARS during pregnancy is not a sentence, but a way to think about your own health.

SARS at 33 weeks of gestation

The period has come when ARVI at 33 weeks of gestation practically does not carry any harm. Why practically? Because the child is no longer in danger. Unpleasant sensations arise only in the expectant mother.

Now practically nothing is scary. Mom's immune system is back on track. Now the barrier functions are fully working, which will not allow infection to enter the body. Moreover, the baby himself is perfectly protected by the placenta and amniotic fluid. But this does not give a 100% guarantee that nothing can happen.

There is only one conclusion to be drawn from this. You need to treat ARVI immediately, but under the supervision of your doctor. Otherwise, the consequences can be dire. No, there will be no miscarriages and pathologies, but this is quite capable of affecting the baby's immune system.

SARS during pregnancy should be eliminated quickly, but without the use of medications. In general, it all depends on the specific situation. It is forbidden to drink medicine on your own, because the consequences can be quite serious.

ARVI at 34 weeks of gestation

ARVI at 34 weeks of gestation does not carry any danger. During this period, the fetus is almost completely formed. He is under the sensitive preservation of the placenta and amniotic fluid.

The mother's body in the last weeks is actively preparing for the natural process of childbirth. The immune system performs its basic functions. Now no infection can enter the mother's body.

During this period, colds are not terrible, but their timely elimination is mandatory. It is forbidden to take medications on your own, because all this is done purely individually.

Pathologies, changes in the baby's body, as well as miscarriages are excluded. Everything is closely monitored like the mother's immune system. It remains only to prepare for childbirth.

SARS during pregnancy cannot be called a dangerous phenomenon. But, again, it all depends on the time frame. So in the first trimester, this disease can harm the child, in the second and third the risk is significantly reduced.

SARS at 35 weeks of gestation

Can ARVI at 35 weeks of gestation harm a baby? In fact, this is not possible. The third trimester is coming to an end, at this stage the body is completely preparing for the childbirth process. No colds can do much harm during this period.

Both the fetus and all the systems are already formed. There is nothing to be afraid of at this stage, because the mother's body is fully capable of providing "resistance" to any infection. It is important to diagnose the disease on time and start treatment.

Now neither mother nor fetus is susceptible to any harmful factors from the external environment. Because the immune functions of a woman's body are fully performed. In addition, the fetus itself is protected by the placenta and amniotic fluid. There is nothing to be afraid of in this case. But despite this, it is still necessary to treat ARVI. Because it can grow into a more complex form.

SARS during pregnancy should not be confused with more serious stages of influenza. In this case, everything is much simpler and easily eliminated if you deal with this issue in time.

SARS at 36 weeks of gestation

SARS at 36 weeks of gestation and the consequences of such a "phenomenon". In fact, it's not worth worrying about for such a period. Because the mother's body is already able to protect her child. The immune system easily fights infections and prevents them from harming health.

The placenta fully fulfills its functions. The kid is completely protected from harmful environmental factors. There is no reason to worry. But this does not mean that you need to completely relax and not take care of your own health. You need to cure a cold in any case. But you should not do it yourself, everything is done under the strict guidance of the attending physician.

In the last trimester of pregnancy, the risk of many diseases is significantly reduced. In addition, this no longer has any effect on the baby. Pathological phenomena, miscarriages and so on are not at all scary. The fetus is formed, moreover, it is protected by the placenta. Therefore, it remains only to "reach" the last days. ARVI during pregnancy in this case is no longer dangerous.

SARS at 37 weeks of gestation

What can ARVI affect at 37 weeks of gestation? During such a period, there is nothing dangerous anymore. The health of the baby and the mother is no longer threatened. The fetus is formed, it is protected by the placenta. It is also a natural barrier against many negative factors.

At this stage, it's time to get ready for the birth process. Naturally, it is necessary to treat ARVI. Because mom may not feel very well, and there is a rather laborious process ahead. Treatment is prescribed by the attending physician, based on the general symptoms and well-being of the woman. Self-medication is strictly prohibited! Because many drugs are strictly prohibited.

During this period, a cold is not capable of causing harm. As a rule, the entire threat persists only in the first and second trimester. In the last stages, everything is much simpler. It is important to start early treatment. Because this should not be neglected in any case. ARVI in late pregnancy is easy to treat without any harm to the baby.

SARS at 38 weeks of gestation

Did you catch ARVI at 38 weeks of gestation? All fears must be put aside. The most dangerous for a woman are the first and second trimester. The fact is that for the first 3 months, any infection can cause irreparable harm to the baby. In addition, almost all drugs are contraindicated in the early stages. This, in turn, exacerbates the situation.

There is nothing to be afraid of in the last trimester. You need to prepare for childbirth and not worry. If ARVI is caught, then it must be cured and that's it. No pathologies are scary during this period. The only thing that can bring discomfort is a rise in temperature. Simply put, the disease does not affect the child in any way. Only the expectant mother experiences discomfort.

It is important to diagnose the disease on time and start treating it. In general, there is really nothing to be afraid of. If a mother monitors her own health, eats right and leads an active lifestyle, then the child is not in danger. SARS during pregnancy at this time is not at all dangerous.

SARS at 39 weeks of gestation

If ARVI at 39 weeks of gestation was caught by surprise, it must be urgently eliminated. Don't worry too much about a cold at this stage. The fact is that the baby is already fully formed, now nothing threatens him. The mother's body is able to easily cope with any infection. Immune barrier functions work wonderfully.

Now you shouldn't worry about a cold at all. It is important to diagnose it on time and start treatment. You should not do this on your own. Because pregnant girls are prohibited from taking many medications. Therefore, without the supervision of the attending physician, such an "adventure" should be abandoned.

At this stage, all efforts should be directed to the upcoming birth. You should not focus on the common cold, but you do not need to start it. Nothing can influence the child's body anymore. He is under the "protection" of the placenta and amniotic fluid. In general, ARVI during pregnancy does not pose a danger when it comes to later periods.

SARS in late pregnancy

What is the risk of ARVI in late pregnancy? During this period, you should no longer worry so much about this. Because the fetus is formed and is carefully protected by the placenta.

What is the danger of ARVI during this period? In fact, the infection is not capable of causing any harm to both mother and baby. But you need to fight the disease on time, because in a complicated form it can be said on the expectant mother. If we talk about the second trimester, which is late date, then during this period there may be problems with the baby's nervous system. Therefore, it is necessary to fight the disease on time. At this time, the nervous system is actively developing, it is not worth starting this process. The infection is no longer capable of causing harm, but it can still spoil something.

As for the third trimester, everything is much simpler here. No threats to the health of the baby or the mother. Now nothing is scary. It remains only to monitor the course of the disease and that's it. SARS during pregnancy requires timely treatment.

Symptoms of SARS during pregnancy

The clinical picture of ARVI during pregnancy is very similar to the common cold. True, during the period of gestation, the danger of inflammation of the paranasal sinuses increases, since due to the large amount of progesterone in the body, swelling of the nasal mucosa easily occurs, which can subsequently develop into sinusitis.

The symptoms of ARVI can be slightly different, depending on what type of viral infection has entered the body. For example, with an adenoviral infection or enterovirus, the symptoms of the disease may differ slightly.

Symptoms do not always appear all at once: some may be more pronounced, others less, and still others may not appear at all. However, a number of signs of ARVI are still considered more characteristic of this disease:

• general weakness, weakness, drowsiness;
• increased temperature indicators, fever, chills;
• difficulty in nasal breathing, nasal discharge, swelling of the mucous membranes in the nose;
• headache;
• recurrent muscle pain;
• dry cough, eventually turning into a wet cough with sputum;
• swelling and sore throat;
• redness of the eyes and watery eyes.

If several of the listed symptoms appear, a pregnant woman should definitely visit a doctor. The doctor will write out a certificate (if the pregnant woman is still going to work) and prescribe adequate treatment. In no case should you carry the disease "on your feet"! Just as it is impossible to independently prescribe medications for a viral infection for yourself, without first consulting a doctor. Many medications can harm the growing fetus, and the pregnancy itself.

ARVI without fever during pregnancy

Without a doubt, it can be argued that the course of ARVI in pregnant women is not much different from ARVI in other people. The same signs of the disease - a runny nose, fever, weakness, cough. Is that the immunity during pregnancy is not so strong that it threatens the development of some complications.

Due to the weakness of the immune defense in expectant mothers, temperature indicators during the illness may not leave the normal range, or increase slightly (within 37 ° C). Often, doctors diagnose ARVI without fever during pregnancy. To understand why this happens, you need to have a basic understanding of the features of the temperature reaction.

An increase in temperature is the body's response to the introduction of a viral or bacterial infection. At the same time, interferons are produced - biologically active proteins that help fight infection. Interferons are formed in the body when the temperature rises above 37 ° C and cease to be produced at temperatures above 38.5 ° C.

If the immunity of a pregnant woman is weakened, then the body does not have the strength to raise the temperature and fight the infection. Accordingly, interferons in this case will not be produced, which means that a full-fledged attack on viruses will not happen either.

SARS without fever is also bad because a woman, having found normal indicators in herself, concludes that the disease is insignificant, therefore, it is not necessary to treat it. This is fundamentally wrong: at the first symptoms of a cold, regardless of whether the temperature rises or not, treatment must be started immediately. Of course, only under the supervision of a specialist.

Temperature during pregnancy with ARVI

Does the temperature appear during pregnancy with ARVI? In fact, this phenomenon is quite normal. In addition, the temperature can appear on its own for no reason. Because during this period, a large amount of the hormone progesterone is released, which affects the processes of thermoregulation.

But what if the temperature manifested itself against the background of ARVI? You need to watch her. If it fluctuates within 38 degrees, then this is quite normal. Much higher, which means it is necessary to move on to more serious measures. In general, when a temperature appears, you need to seek help from your doctor. Because it is not necessary that we can talk about a cold.

Temperature is quite normal in ARVI, because an infection has appeared in the body and that, in turn, is trying to fight it. But wait until everything goes away on its own is not worth it, you need to start treatment. It all depends on the length of the pregnancy. In a later period, there is nothing wrong with that; in the early stages, you need to take up treatment thoroughly. In general, ARVI during pregnancy does not pose a particular danger, but only at a later date.

Is ARVI dangerous during pregnancy?

Do you think ARVI is dangerous during pregnancy? Naturally, any disease, if left untreated, can harm the body. Especially when it comes to the expectant mother and her child. It should not be hidden that most women are very susceptible to ARVI infection. The fact is that the barrier functions of the immune system are somewhat reduced during pregnancy, which is why "infection" occurs. It is important to start correct and competent treatment. It's not worth doing anything on your own. because untimely treatment can lead to miscarriage and pretty "annoy" the baby. Therefore, it is imperative to monitor your health. Naturally, it is advisable to avoid infection altogether, but if it was not possible to do this, then competent treatment is in a hurry to help.

It is important to avoid this disease in the early stages, that is, in the first trimester. This time is the most dangerous. Because both miscarriage and processes that are not reversible can occur. SARS during pregnancy can be harmful, so it is important to diagnose it and start treatment on time. After all, the future of the child at this stage is in the hands of the mother.

Consequences of ARVI during pregnancy

What are the consequences of ARVI during pregnancy and is it worth thinking about? This is actually a very hot topic to think about. The fact is that if you do not diagnose the disease in time and do not start treating it, then this can lead to all sorts of problems. They will be discussed below.

So, one of the consequences of ARVI is pathology. Moreover, it can be varied and "damage" any organs and systems. This occurs because the woman's immune system is unable to fulfill its barrier functions. Therefore, any infection can enter a woman's body. In addition, in this way, the baby is also infected. In general, the consequences can be more dire. So, in some cases, a miscarriage is not excluded. Therefore, it is necessary to diagnose and treat the disease on time.

SARS during pregnancy is a common problem. Don't panic right away. There will be no consequences if everything is eliminated on time. It is important to seek the help of a specialized doctor.

In addition to the negative impact on the developing fetus and on the course of pregnancy itself, ARVI can lower the already weak immunity of a woman. In turn, this can lead to an exacerbation of chronic diseases already existing in the body, such as rheumatism, bronchitis, cholecystitis, etc. In addition, secondary bacterial complications may appear. If the disease is left untreated, treated incorrectly, or transferred “on legs”, then the infection can spread further throughout the body. Subsequently, this can result in pneumonia, chronic pharyngitis or laryngitis, sinusitis (inflammation of the maxillary sinuses), otitis media, etc.

In order to prevent negative consequences, it is very important not to ignore the symptoms that appear and to consult a doctor in a timely manner. Indeed, during pregnancy, the load on the body is already quite large. The addition of a viral infection gives an additional load on the kidneys and heart. Due to coughing and sneezing, a woman has to strain the abdominal muscles, which can affect the tone of the uterus. A stuffy nose makes it difficult to breathe, which can lead to a lack of oxygen in the fetus. Therefore, a doctor's consultation and competent treatment of ARVI should be mandatory, and unpleasant consequences can be avoided.

Diagnosis of ARVI during pregnancy

Diagnosis of ARVI during pregnancy is carried out on the basis of symptoms, as well as information obtained during the interview and examination of the patient. Availability characteristic features diseases (fever, cough, runny nose) and epidemiological data are usually sufficient to correctly establish the diagnosis.

In some cases, doctors may prescribe laboratory methods:

• immunofluorescence reaction - detection of antigens by processing the material with appropriate antibodies;
• PCR tests - a procedure for detecting the causative agent of the disease by the presence of the DNA of the virus in the material taken.

To clarify the diagnosis, serological diagnostic methods are sometimes used:

• enzyme immunoassay - a study of specific antibodies, which is carried out on initial stage diseases, as well as repeatedly at the stage of recovery;
• complement binding reaction - a study based on the possibility of antigen-antibody complexes to bind with complement;
• hemagglutination inhibition reaction - identification of the virus or detection of antiviral antibodies in the patient's blood serum.

If microbial complications join in the process of the disease, then for their diagnosis it may be necessary to consult specialized specialists, for example, an ENT doctor or a pulmonologist. For the same purposes, X-ray examination of the respiratory organs, rhinoscopy, oto- and pharyngoscopy are additionally prescribed.

ARVI treatment during pregnancy

How is ARVI treated during pregnancy? To remove the temperature, you need to use paracetamol. But we are talking about a pregnant girl, which means that this method of treatment is prohibited, at least in the first trimester. Therefore, it is recommended to seek the help of a doctor. Medications and dosage are prescribed only by him.

In general, it is better to resort to traditional medicine during pregnancy. Simply put, lie down and take fully armed with lemon tea and jam. But in this case, it all depends on the specific situation.

To get rid of a runny nose and sore throat, it is better to resort to folk remedies. So, tinctures of eucalyptus, soda, calendula and sage are perfect. If you suffer from sore throat, then at the initial stage, Hexorad and Stopagin aerosols are suitable. From the second trimester, it is allowed to use Cameton. You cannot prescribe a dosage on your own. It is necessary to look at the instructions, but still consult with your doctor.

SARS during pregnancy is not a terrible disease, but it can be harmful in the initial stages. Therefore, it is important to start treatment, but not to resort to it yourself.

The ARVI treatment regimen during pregnancy should pursue the following goals:

• the earliest possible elimination of the virus and toxic substances resulting from its vital activity from the body;
• strengthening and supporting immunity;
• relief of symptoms of the disease.

In order to quickly expel a viral infectious disease from the body, it is imperative to observe the drinking regime - drink a lot of heated liquid. As a drink, green tea with a spoonful of honey or a slice of lemon, a decoction of raspberry sprigs, linden blossom infusion, rosehip decoction, berry juice are suitable. If there is a cough or sore throat, warm milk with honey and a pinch of baking soda helps.

When consuming large volumes of liquid, pay attention to whether edema appears on the body, especially in the final stages of pregnancy.

When a sick woman leaves the room in which she spends most of her time, it is advisable to ventilate the room, at least 3-4 times a day.

In order to support the immune forces, you need ascorbic acid, which is found in sufficient quantities in citrus fruits, currants, and rose hips. Sometimes your doctor may prescribe a multivitamin.

As for the relief of the symptoms of the disease, here it is worth noting a few nuances:

• you cannot take those medicines for colds that you usually take - most of these medicines are dangerous to use during pregnancy. Among such prohibited agents are acetylsalicylic acid, analgin, cold-flux, fervex, antigrippin, etc. Among other things, do not take antibiotics in any case: with ARVI, they will not only be beneficial, but also harm;
• the advice of traditional medicine also cannot be treated with absolute confidence, because among folk remedies there are those that are contraindicated for pregnant women. For example, you are not allowed to soar your feet and take infusions of many medicinal plants.

How can the disease be treated?

Medicines for ARVI during pregnancy

What medications for ARVI during pregnancy can be used? It is not a secret for any woman that many drugs are prohibited. This is especially true for the first trimester of pregnancy. At this stage, the fetus is just beginning to form, many negative factors can affect this process.

Now it's worth going back to medicines... You need to take them only in extreme cases. In particular, if the risk of death of a child exceeds the occurrence of pathologies.

The approved drug is VIFERON. But it is allowed only from the 14th week, you cannot take any medications earlier. This drug is antiviral, it is able to get rid of all the most common symptoms of a cold in a short time. Before taking the medicine, you need to consult a doctor.

In general, ARVI during pregnancy can be cured without medication. But it all depends on the individual situation and the course of the cold.

With a sore throat, warm tea and milk with honey are great. Gargling (after meals and at night) with the addition of baking soda and sea salt is recommended. Halls-type lollipops (for example, with honey and citrus), as well as any mint candies and even chewing gum with mint and eucalyptus are effective and safe. In order to warm your feet, you can wear woolen socks: many do not take them off even at night.

• In case of a runny nose and difficulty in nasal breathing, it is recommended to rinse the nose with a solution of sea or rock salt, as well as instill such a solution into the nasal passages (in the absence of sea salt, ready-made saline solutions, for example, Aqua-Maris, can be purchased at pharmacies). Oil drops (Pinosol) are also suitable. It is better to refrain from using vasoconstrictor drops. Good feedback you can hear about the homeopathic medicine Sinupret, which is approved for use by pregnant women. This drug restores immunity and helps the body fight viruses.
• When coughing, inhalation is considered the best remedy. They are usually carried out in the morning and evening for about 15 minutes. Can be used folk methods like boiled potatoes, or use herbal infusions such as mint and eucalyptus. Usually, for permanent relief of the condition, it may take from 3 to five days of inhalations.
• At a temperature of 37-37.5 ° C, you should not take measures to reduce the temperature: at such a temperature, it is easier for the body to fight a viral disease. If the indicators exceed 38 ° C, then it is simply necessary to take measures. Try applying vinegar compresses to your forehead, neck, and shoulders. Tea made from linden blossom or raspberry helps a lot. As a last resort, take a pill of paracetamol or a dose of Panadol.

Viferon for ARVI during pregnancy

Is Viferon taken for ARVI during pregnancy, and is this drug approved? This medication is prescribed only from 14 weeks. Until this time, the drug should not be taken in any case. Because there is a risk of developing pathologies and even a miscarriage. But it doesn't just depend on this medication. More precisely, not only it can provoke such "problems".

In complex therapy, for the treatment of ARVI, women use Viferon, but only starting from the 14th week. This antiviral agent belongs to the group of recombinant interferons. They are most often used by expectant mothers during the period of various infectious and inflammatory diseases. The preparation contains interferon alpha-2b with antioxidants. The product is produced in the form of an ointment, gel and suppositories.

Viferon is able to block the multiplication of viruses, in addition, it increases the body's resistance to their interaction. This is necessary for pregnant girls, because their immunity is not able to cope with all sorts of infections. Therefore, taking Viferon with ARVI during pregnancy is not dangerous.

Prevention of ARVI during pregnancy

Preventive measures to prevent ARVI in pregnancy are very important. Due to weakened immunity, colds and SARS can often "knock" on pregnant women. The task of a woman is to protect herself and the unborn child from the disease.

In order to prevent ARVI, it is enough to follow some simple rules:

• do not go on a long walk in the rain and windy weather, protect your feet from getting wet;
• regularly drink tea with lemon, rosehip, black currant;
• during an epidemic of flu and colds, try not to visit public places, do not drive by public transport(especially during rush hour);
• if a patient with ARVI lives in the same apartment with you, then take simple safety measures: wear a gauze bandage, ventilate the room more often, put cut chives and onion quarters in the room;
• in sunny weather, try to go outside, walk in the park or in the yard;
• ventilate the room, especially before going to bed, and regularly do wet cleaning;
• dress according to the weather conditions, do not overcool, but also do not overheat.

SARS during pregnancy is not at all a mandatory event. In your hands is the health of yours and your unborn child, so do everything so that this period in your life passes only with pleasant memories.

Acute respiratory viral and bacterial diseases often affect the human body and are the cause of the onset and development of the common cold. Pregnant women are also not immune to the risk of catching a cold. The reason for the development of ARVI during pregnancy is a physiological decrease in immunity, because the fetus is half someone else's genetic information, with the presence of which the body normally would have to fight.

ARVI is a group of diseases that affect the upper respiratory tract. Viruses and bacteria are the cause of the development of the disease. SARS are accompanied by various symptoms, such as:

• an increase in temperature to subfebrile numbers;
• sore throat;
• nasal congestion;
• cough;
• chills;
• general decrease in performance.

It is especially dangerous to get sick with the influenza virus, which is known for its complications.

SARS during pregnancy and the consequences of transferring this disease in the first trimester are quite dangerous. In the first trimester of pregnancy, the laying and formation of all organs and systems of the unborn baby takes place. During this period, the embryo is very sensitive to any influence, especially from viruses. So, the effect of the virus on the embryo can lead to a defect in the development of any system of the organism of the unborn child. Multiple defects caused by the pathological action of the virus can cause spontaneous miscarriage. But if, after a pregnant woman has transferred an acute viral infection in the first trimester, pregnancy proceeds without pathology, then it is highly likely that viruses or bacteria did not significantly affect the body of the unborn child.

As pregnancy progresses, the placenta grows and develops - the protective barrier of the fetus from harmful influences. This function of the placenta does not become an exception when exposed to viruses or bacteria. SARS during pregnancy and its consequences in the second trimester are not as critical as in the first. With the transfer of acute respiratory viral infections in the second trimester, there is a likelihood of the development of pathology of the placenta, a violation of the oxygen supply of the fetus, which can lead to fetal hypoxia and its weakening in general.

How to treat ARVI during pregnancy?

ARVI in pregnant women and its treatment have a number of features. During pregnancy, many pharmaceuticals used for the common cold are contraindicated. A minimum of drugs should be used, but also folk remedies do not get carried away. Treatment of ARVI during pregnancy should be started when the slightest malaise occurs, while remembering to monitor the condition of the unborn baby.

Medicines during pregnancy with ARVI

During pregnancy, to relieve headaches, fever, you can use drugs containing paracetamol. Do not take medications containing aspirin. To relieve nasal congestion, you can use preparations containing sterilized sea ​​water, it is impossible - preparations with the active substance oxymetazaline hydrochloride. Also, the use of a large number of antibiotics is contraindicated during pregnancy, with the exception of topically applied drugs. Pregnant women can take multivitamins to maintain their immunity, to reduce the symptoms of intoxication - drink a lot of tea, fruit drink, compotes. A decoction of chamomile and sage is suitable for sanitizing the oral cavity, but a decoction of calendula is not suitable. Warm socks at night will also help a pregnant woman. a woman will recover faster.

Thus, ARVI during pregnancy and its treatment requires increased attention from the pregnant woman herself and from the doctors, since any infectious effect is a risk for the successful development of the unborn baby.

Prevention of ARVI during pregnancy

For the prevention of ARVI during pregnancy, you can use oxalic ointment when going to crowded places. You can support your immunity with vitamins, a balanced diet. Preventing hypothermia will also help a pregnant woman stay healthy.
