What can happen if a baby is conceived while the future mom or/and the future dad have a cold?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Not much: If all the mother had was a form of a common cold then nothing abnormal would happen. Some infections such as CMV, Varicella, Toxoplasmosis, Zika and others can cause issues. The common cold does not.
