i am 29 yrs old and hv a kid who is 4 yrs old. we are planning for 2nd baby. recently i got rat fever(a month before) .i have heard that the virus stays in our body for 6 to 8 months, is that true?. if so will it affect my child if i get pregnent now?.or shall i wait for 6 more months to get pregnent?.
Hi.It is true that the virus can take a while to leave the system, but I don't think that you need to wait that long to get pregnant. Rat fever has some serious consequences when it occurs in already pregnant women, especially those in their third trimester. I would recommend consulting an obstetrician, but I think a 2-3 month wait should more than suffice.Best wishes.
