Is Amoebiasis A Concern If Left Untreated During Pregnancy?

Is amoeba hyst. Dangerous to the fetus? I am 34+3 weeks pregnant. I recently had some loose poops 3 times during the day but I thought it was due to lots of yogurt. Today I had mucous and blood in my stool. I am going to my OB next week but I am already worried. Should I treat it now or wait after delivery? Should I delivered naturally or by cesarian?Is it very dangerous to the fetus? Please answer in details last 3 auesrions. Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. In the current scenario, you may have to be treated for the disease since you seem to have dysentery. Else, it may lead to a threatened preterm labor. Let your health care provider decide after a clinical assessment. Though the infection as such is not very dangerous to the fetus, as mentioned earlier associated symptoms may lead to interventions. It is not necessary that you be delivered through the abdominal route; the decision is taken by your attending obstetrician. Take adequate rest and maintain proper hydration. Wish you safe motherhood.
