  • For pregnant women, the flu can cause a wide range of symptoms. While doctors say it's rare for an illness, like the flu, to cause someone to go into labor early-- these types of illnesses can cause dehydration-- which can lead to painful contractions and other symptoms.

The article from MSN discusses the heightened risks and complications associated with influenza (flu) in pregnant women. It explains that pregnancy alters the immune system, making women more susceptible to severe symptoms from viral infections like the flu. Key points include the increased likelihood of hospitalization, the potential for flu-related complications such as pneumonia, and the risk of preterm labor or other adverse pregnancy outcomes. The article emphasizes the importance of flu vaccination during pregnancy, which not only protects the mother but also provides passive immunity to the newborn. It also covers preventive measures like good hygiene practices, avoiding sick individuals, and the critical role of early medical intervention if flu symptoms appear. The piece concludes by highlighting the need for awareness and proactive health management among pregnant women to mitigate the risks posed by the flu.
