A member asked:
I have an infection in my stomach that can cause ulcers in my intestines i'm also 8 weeks pregnant can it harm my baby?

Unlikely to happen: To harm your baby an infection would need to gain access by entering the blood or getting through the wall of tissues surrounding the gestational sac. Localized infections like you mention do not.Thhe medications you may take to get rid of the germ are also unlikely to bother baby.
