These ailments are familiar to many, but very few people know whatin fact, they threaten the fetus and what incredible complications a woman can cause. Natella Zemlyanskaya was the top 5 most dangerous diseases for future mothers: "Among the diseases that are absolutely undesirable during the child's birth, the first place is occupied by viral infections: rubella, chicken pox, influenza. Next - toxoplasmosis. Complete the list of infections of the genitourinary system. The first are especially dangerous at the beginning of pregnancy, when the organs of the future baby are laid; infection of the genitourinary system (syphilis, chlamydia, mycoplasmosis, trichomoniasis, etc.), in contrast, in the last trimester. In addition to the above diseases, many others, which can be avoided with high immunity, are the same aggravation of herpetic infection or tuberculosis. Therefore, a woman who consciously goes to motherhood, it is important to prepare for him: at least in advance to abandon bad habits and various diets. It is also important for the whole pregnancy to eat well (pay special attention to protein foods), to observe sleep and rest. "
