MRSA During Pregnancy
During pregnancy, there are always concerns about any infection that can affect the unborn baby. For a pregnant woman who is a MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) carrier, which means she has the bacteria, but she doesn't have any symptoms, there is no risk to the baby. There may be risks to the baby when the mom has an infection and must be treated with strong antibiotics or require surgery. Risks to the baby will need to be weighed against the risks of MRSA to the pregnant woman.
