Fever during pregnancy, danger to the fetus?

In humans themselves, the normal development of the fetus depends on systematic steps that allow each organ and blood vessel to grow and develop over time.

Like other mammals, this sequence of steps is strongly influenced by various protein molecules in the body that trigger the onset of various growth and development processes.

When body temperature increases under fever conditions, the cell environment may no longer support the maximum protein production leading to miscarriage. For example, in several studies, the relationship between fever in the first trimester and increased risk of cleft in the fetus is characterized by cleft lip, conbad heart disease, and tubal defects of the neural tube. 19659002] Although there is no further study on the disease that underlies fever and that it may cause abnormalities in the fetus, fever in pregnant women remains to be treated so as not to deteriorate and cause complications for the mother and the fetus. ] Author: dr.
