Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) generally does not pose a serious risk to pregnancy or the fetus. However, it is advisable to avoid close contact with infected individuals. It is known that, very rarely, a high fever in the first trimester of pregnancy can increase the risk of miscarriage. Furthermore, infants born to expectant mothers who contract the infection shortly before delivery may carry the disease during the neonatal period. In such situations or if you have any concerns, it is important to consult an obstetrician-gynecologist.
