Dear member,
Thanks for writing.
The typhoid is a bacterial infection.
It does not have significant effect on the fetus.
The relapse might make you weak and tired but there is no need to terminate a ongoing pregnancy for typhoid .there are safe Medications available for typhoid in pregnancy.
Thanks
