Pregnant Women with Covid-19

Covid-19 has taken the world by storm. Life has come to a standstill and most of the things are getting delayed or have been postponed and people are waiting for normalcy. Here the question arises, whether you should plan your family?

Risks involved

1. It has been observed that Pregnant women with COVID-19 are also more likely to deliver a baby before the start of the 37th week of pregnancy which means premature birth.

 2. Pregnant women who have underlying medical conditions, such as      diabetes, also might be at even higher risk of severe illness due to COVID-19. Since covid-19 is seen to affect people with diabetes more severely.

3.    Some research suggests that pregnant women with COVID-19 are also more likely to have cesarean delivery, and their babies are more likely to be admitted to a neonatal unit.

4. If you have COVID-19 and are pregnant, your treatment will be aimed at relieving symptoms and may include getting plenty of fluids and rest, as well as using medication to reduce fever, relieve pain or lessen coughing. If you’re very ill, you may need to be treated in the hospital.

What to do

1. Talk to your health care provider about precautions that will be taken to protect you during appointments or whether virtual prenatal care is an option for you.

2. Ask if there are any tools that might be helpful to have at home, such as a blood pressure monitor.

3. If you have certain high-risk conditions during pregnancy, virtual visits might not be an option. Ask your health care provider about how your care might be affected.

4. To protect the health of you and your baby, some facilities might limit the number of people you can have in the room during labor and delivery. Visits after delivery might be affected too. Also, during your hospitalization you and your support person might be screened for symptoms every day. Talk to your health care provider about any restrictions that might apply.

5. Research suggests that breast milk isn’t likely to spread the COVID-19 virus to babies. The bigger concern is whether an infected mother can transmit the virus to the baby through respiratory droplets during breastfeeding.
