Pregnant women with rubella should not terminate pregnancy

It is a serious disease for pregnant women to be infected with rubella virus. Rubella virus can infect the fetus through the embryo, especially in the early stages of pregnancy, the probability of the fetus being infected is very high. Once the fetus is infected with the rubella virus, it is very likely to have congenital heart disease, deafness, and growth retardation after birth. This is why many pregnant women are unwilling to get pregnant after being infected with the rubella virus. In fact, pregnant women infected with rubella do not need to terminate the pregnancy. They can do relevant tests and observe for a period of time before seeing whether to terminate the pregnancy.

1. If it is not the first time that the pregnant woman is infected with rubella virus, the body will produce antigens after the first infection. In other words, the virus infection will not cause any symptoms for the pregnant woman, and the impact of the infected rubella virus on the fetus is relatively small. Therefore, we do not need to terminate the pregnancy first, but observe for a period of time before making a decision.

2. In fact, after being infected with the rubella virus, many pregnant women will experience premature births, miscarriages, and stillbirths. This is because the fetuses infected with the rubella virus are prone to various defects. Especially if the rubella virus is infected in the early stages of pregnancy, the possibility of miscarriage is very high. If there are signs of miscarriage, it is recommended to terminate the pregnancy. If there are no signs of miscarriage, there is no need to terminate the pregnancy.

3. What should a pregnant woman do if she is infected with rubella virus? If you are sure to give birth to the baby, the doctor will ask you to inject human immunoglobulin, which can reduce the chance of fetal deformity. However, this type of human immunoglobulin is only effective if injected in the early stages of pregnancy. It is meaningless to inject it after this time.

Pregnant women with rubella do not need to terminate their pregnancy. It mainly depends on the specific condition of the pregnant woman. If the pregnant woman has some signs of threatened miscarriage or the child has been found to be deformed, it is best to perform a termination of pregnancy immediately. If there is no other reason, the pregnancy can be further observed and relevant treatment can be given. Rubella virus is a contagious disease. Pregnant women who are diagnosed with rubella virus should inform their doctors. The doctors will arrange special tests for them. They should not be tested together with other pregnant women, as this will easily transmit the virus to healthy pregnant women.
