Not necessarily: Pregnancy is a period where your body undergoes a variety of stresses to sustain baby. As long as you are monitored and receiving good care, the outlook for baby is good.The transfusion, is a routine procedure in most hospitals & the blood is screened for problems & in most cases irradiated to kill any virus missed by screening.It will boost your overall strength & is safe for baby.
