Fever in a pregnant woman can affect her fetusi in three different ways: 1) If less than a month of age, the fetus could develop structural abnormalities of the brain or spine such as anencephaly or neural tube defects. For several possible reasons, parts of the nervous system fail to develop normally. This can be life threatening. 2)hypoxia. This imeans lack of oxygen. This may be due to the rapid heart rate that occurs as a direct effect of the fever itself. 3). Preterm labor: Fever as a result of infection often induces early rapture of membranes and premature labor.
