Is your immune system lowered or raised in pregnancy??

[~breeze~]

Awwwww Ren, I hope you get over it soon!

I had the flu last week but was over it within 3 days, I was so scared it was going to hang around & make labour harder than it needs to be, thank goodness it's gone!

I can answer your question for you but I always have people saying the imune system is lower when PG because "the baby takes everything" LOL

technically your immune system is "switched off" during pregnancy, because as my endocrinologist explained there is a "foreign object" ie; bubby, in your body & if your immune system was "switched on" it would reject the bubba.
