Many women go through their pregnancy without any type of problems, but there are many others who can contract a disease that makes them feel discomfort or even put their life or that of the baby at risk.
We have talked many times about the typical discomforts of pregnancy, such as dizziness, nausea, or swollen feet. Today we will talk about most dangerous diseases.
These diseases are:
- Toxoplasmosis It is an infection that is spread through the feces of cats or infected pork or lamb.
- Preeclampsia. It is the presence of high blood pressure and protein in the urine that develops after the 20th week of pregnancy.
- Sexually transmitted diseases.
- Arterial hypertension.
- Gestational diabetes. It can lead to miscarriages, perinatal mortality, high birth weight, premature delivery, etc.
- Incompetent cervix. With this disease what happens is that the uterus is unable to support the baby and dilates even though there are no contractions, which causes an abortion.
- Group B streptococcus. It is a bacterium that does not usually affect adults but does affect babies. In pregnant women, this bacteria is usually present in the vagina and / or anus, so there may be a probability that the baby will be infected.
