What Are the Implications of High Viral Load During Pregnancy?
High viral load during pregnancy poses risks to both the mother and the baby:
Mother: Increased risk of complications such as preterm labor and maternal morbidity. Baby: Higher risk of vertical transmission, leading to neonatal infections or congenital conditions.
To mitigate these risks, pregnant women with high viral loads may be prescribed antiviral medications and may require special delivery plans, such as a cesarean section, to reduce the risk of transmission.
