Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hi Archie,

Viveka's question was similar to one which I have been thinking of. I plan on putting my son in preschool this coming spring (he turns 3 in Jan). He has never been to daycare before so I expect him to catch each and every disease from the other kids. I am pretty sure I will end up catching them from him especially if I have conceived by then. I wonder how that will impact my pregnancy.

I used to be very cool and calm during pregnancy and never complained about anything. But after my experience I am getting extra cautious in my thinking.

Let me know what you think about catching sickness from my son.

With warm regards, Aarti

certain things can be covered in preconception testings but others are inevitable and one would have to face the consequences.
The good side of preconception testings is this, it covers all the risks and therefore you will be immunized for some of the factors if you are not immune otherwise catching diseases during pregnancy is common and they can be treated without hurting your littleone although medications choice is limiting.

Get your immunity checked before you conceive. I mean ask your gynec should you need any shots prior to conception.

Hope this answers.
