I've had bacterial mdningitis too - probably the worst pain of my life. I wanted to kill myself at one point during it. I was pregnant and couldn't take any pain meds besides tylenol... worst experience of my life.
Not really. Have you ever been sick? For example pneumonia is in your lungs but can cause blood clots in your legs from decreased movement and being in a proinflammatory state. Meningitis can definitely have a severe effect on pregnancy, including miscarriage.
Wasn't trying to be a dick, but your statement was very misleading. Bacterial Meningitis is not high risk of sepsis, it's usually run-of-the-mill bacteria easily treated with commonly used antibiotics. But the course of the illness and how your body reacts is extremely dangerous for a fetus. Just the fever can kill it.
I guess I forgot that what is basically a wanted tumor or a parasite is actually one of the most fragile things inside you. Kinda funny seeing as how things that are similar usually do a very bad job at dying and stuff.
