What are the symptoms of intrauterine infection?

Pregnancy is the most important stage in a woman's life and also the most sensitive stage for women. Both the mental state and the body have to bear great pressure. Pregnant women need to pay special attention to their diet and daily routine during pregnancy, but there are still physical problems with pregnant women. Intrauterine infection is a more serious condition and needs to be taken seriously. So, what are the symptoms of intrauterine infection?

Pregnant women or pregnant women with intrauterine infection often have fever, axillary temperature higher than 37.5℃, rapid pulse, increased white blood cell count, and in severe cases, toxic shock may occur. The embryo, fetal membranes and amniotic fluid are meconium-stained and have a foul odor.

The risk of infection in pregnant women increases as the time since amniotic fluid ruptures increases. If the infection is transmitted to the fetus, the newborn baby may show symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, cyanosis, constant drowsiness, sepsis, pneumonia, meningitis and otitis media after birth. If a newborn baby has no symptoms within a short period of time after birth, it does not necessarily mean that there is no intrauterine infection.
