How to Protect Yourself from COVID-19 During Pregnancy
- Pregnant women may experience COVID-19 in mild to moderate forms, with symptoms such as cough, fever, shortness of breath, headache, and loss of smell. Most recover while managing these symptoms. Women who show such signs should remain under medical supervision at a hospital.
- “Severe illness with high fever can lead to premature birth.”
- However, it’s important to note that respiratory problems related to COVID-19 in pregnant women do not necessarily lead to premature birth. In fact, in some cases, early delivery may be carried out surgically through a cesarean section. Currently, there is no conclusive evidence that COVID-19 increases the risk of premature birth in pregnant women.
- Can the virus be transmitted from a pregnant woman to her baby?
- Yes, it can. A few such cases have been reported, but the newborns were in good condition and were discharged from the hospital.
- What should you do if you are pregnant and suspect you’ve contracted the virus?
- If you experience cold-like symptoms or feel unwell, stay home for 7 days. If you have regular check-ups scheduled, inform your clinic or doctor about your condition. However, if your condition worsens, seek medical attention immediately!
