Can i get tb during pregnancy from family members?
One of my close relatives at ghar pe has been diagnosed with TB and we stay in the same house. Im 4 months pregnant and really tensed about catching it. Should i be worried, what precautions do i take?
Yes, TB is contagious and spreads through air, so please be very careful. Keep some distance and consult your doctor immediately to know what precautions you should take to keep yourself safe.
I would be so worried if I were in your place. Does the infected family member wear a mask at home, or have you stayed away? Please tell your gynac about this immediately so they can guide you safely.
Oh my god, this is so stressful! TB spreads through the air so easily and pregnancy makes our immunity so low. Please don't take any chances, keep a separate room and ask your doctor right now what tests or precautions you need.
Oh, this sounds really scary. Since TB spreads through coughing or sneezing, is the family member currently on treatment? I think you should definitely ask your doctor about safety protocols for pregnant women in such cases.
Beta, TB is an airborne disease so you must be very careful. Ask the family member to isolate in one room and use separate utensils. Wear a good N95 mask at home and consult your doctor immediately for the next steps.
Yes, you can absolutely catch it because TB doesn't care if you're pregnant! If someone at home has it, make them wear a mask and keep your distance. Also, get off Reddit and call your doctor to get the medical facts straight.
