Catching infections while you are pregnant can be somewhat alarming as your baby can be exposed to risks and vulnerabilities. During pregnancy your immunity system is weaker than usual which makes you more susceptible for contracting infections, plus the body does not produce enough antibodies to fight the infection. Having said that, we must stress that all infections or health issues during pregnancy are not always serious such as if you are having common cold, morning sickness, fatigue and tiredness etc.
Unfortunately pregnancy increases our chances for catching particularly different types of bacterial infections. Below is the list of most common infections which many women suffer from during pregnancy –
Oral antibiotics are generally prescribed for bladder infection in pregnancy
