Miscarriage
This is likely to happen when mumps goes untreated in pregnant women. When a woman becomes pregnant, several symptoms will begin to manifest; this might cause the apparent signs of mumps to be overlooked as side effects of the pregnancy. Although the baby is always safe in a condition like this, mumps can still cause inflammation of the ovaries that can lead to severe complications. Many pregnant women who develop mumps often mistake the symptoms of mumps for signs of the common cold or side effects of the pregnancy; if mumps is left untreated in pregnant women, it can lead to miscarriage.
