Can I Contract TB From My Husband During Pregnancy?

Hi, My husband has been diagnosed with non- pulmonary TB a couple of weeks back. His medication has already been started. However, his feet and neck has started swelling from the time he is on medication. Is that a matter of concern. Currently I am 8 months pregnant, is there a chance of me getting infected?

non pulmonary tuberculosis is non communicable.
If you have cough like symptoms you have to consult your physician.
Don't worry.
