    Flu takes its roll a woman's body, specifically heart and lungs. While planning To become pregnant you must take every precaution not to get the flu. Not necessarily harmful to your unborn child, but as the child in your body makes demands on your bodily resources, having the flu while pregnant weakens your immune system opening you up to more sickness.

    Hello

    I actually posted this question before but I guess it was too open ended, hence I want to be more specific.

    I was once diagnosed for allergic rhinitis for some years now, and also I observed that my ex-girlfriend constantly has flu. How can this affect my unborn child if we are to get married to such a person?

    My answer above still stands, but if she constantly has flu she must have a very compromised immune system. This needs the attention of her doctor.

    As for your condition, I don't think that has any bearing
