Salmonella with preg: Yes there could be complications. Call your doctor to discuss what infection you have and what to expect with the pregnancy.

Maybe,maybe not: As long as the germ does not enter your blood, the risk to baby is minimal.That risk would depend on how sick you become and how that detracts from your ability to carry the pregnancy.If the infection is limited to your intestines and you recover over time, the baby should not be effected at all.
