A. Since you are 27 weeks pregnant and diagnosed with typhoid and E. coli infection, it's good that your gynecologist has prescribed medicine, as untreated infections can pose risks. Here’s what you need to know: Possible Effects on the Fetus High Fever & Dehydration – Persistent fever and dehydration can affect fetal growth, so staying hydrated is crucial. Preterm Labor Risk – Severe infections may increase the risk of preterm contractions, but proper treatment reduces this risk. Nutrient Absorption Issues – Typhoid can lead to reduced appetite, affecting nutrition. Ensure you eat well for your baby’s development. Medication Safety – If your gynecologist prescribed pregnancy-safe antibiotics, they will treat the infection without harming the baby. What You Can Do Take prescribed medicines completely to clear the infection. Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Monitor baby movements—if you notice reduced movements, inform your doctor. Rest well and eat a balanced diet to maintain your strength. Since you are under medical supervision, the chances of serious complications are low. Just ensure regular follow-ups and inform your doctor of any unusual symptoms like severe pain, reduced fetal movement, or contractions.
