Dengue Symptoms in Pregnancy: Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore

How does dengue affect pregnancy?

During pregnancy, the immune system is naturally lowered so the body can nurture and protect the growing baby. While this is a normal process, it can make mothers more prone to certain infections. Dengue, in particular, requires attentive care to ensure both mother and baby remain safe.

Why Dengue Needs Extra Care in Pregnancy

When dengue is diagnosed during pregnancy, the situation can become more complex if platelet counts begin to fall or if pregnancy-related conditions occur at the same time. These factors can place extra stress on the body and call for closer medical supervision.

As Dr. Roshni Jhan Ganguly explains: “Pregnancy is a low immune state, so anything that decreases immunity makes you more vulnerable to infections. If platelet counts are going down, and there are any additional complications from pregnancy itself, then it can go from bad to worse.”

Takeaway

Dengue during pregnancy needs thoughtful and timely attention. Supportive care, regular monitoring of platelet counts, and guidance from your doctor can help manage the illness effectively. The most important step is to stay in touch with your healthcare provider at the first sign of fever or discomfort, ensuring that both mother and baby receive the right care at the right time.
