Pregnant Women Vs Coronavirus COVID-19

What is the risk to pregnant women of getting COVID-19? 

We do not currently know if pregnant women have a greater chance of getting sick from COVID-19 than neither the general public nor whether they are more likely to have serious illness as a result. Pregnant women experience changes in their bodies that may increase their risk of some infections. With viruses from the same family as COVID-19, and other viral respiratory infections, such as influenza, women have had a higher risk of developing severe illness. It is always important for pregnant women to protect themselves from illnesses.

FAQ of Coronavirus Disease COVID-19
FAQ of Coronavirus Disease COVID-19

How can pregnant women protect themselves from getting COVID-19?

Pregnant women should do the same things as the general public to avoid infection. You can help stop the spread of COVID-19 by taking these actions:

  • Cover your cough (using your elbow is a good technique)
  • Avoid people who are sick
  • Clean your hands often using soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer

You can find additional information on preventing COVID-19 disease at CDC’s (Prevention for 2019 Novel Coronavirus).

Can COVID-19 cause problems for a pregnancy?

We do not know at this time if COVID-19 would cause problems during pregnancy or affect the health of the baby after birth.

Can COVID-19 be passed from a pregnant woman to the fetus or newborn?

We still do not know if a pregnant woman with COVID-19 can pass the virus that causes COVID-19 to her fetus or baby during pregnancy or delivery. No infants born to mothers with COVID-19 have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. In these cases, which are a small number, the virus was not found in samples of amniotic fluid or breast milk.

Is Transmission of COVID-19 through breast milk?

Much is unknown about how COVID-19 is spread. Person-to-person spread is thought to occur mainly via respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes, similar to how influenza (flu) and other respiratory pathogens spread. In limited studies on women with COVID-19 and another coronavirus infection, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV), the virus has not been detected in breast milk; however we do not know whether mothers with COVID-19 can transmit the virus via breast milk.

Guidance on breastfeeding for mothers with confirmed COVID-19 or under investigation for COVID-19
Breast milk is the best source of nutrition for most infants. However, much is unknown about COVID-19. Whether and how to start or continue breastfeeding should be determined by the mother in coordination with her family and healthcare providers.  A mother with confirmed COVID-19 or who is a symptomatic PUI should take all possible precautions to avoid spreading the virus to her infant, including washing her hands before touching the infant and wearing a face mask, if possible, while feeding at the breast.  If expressing breast milk with a manual or electric breast pump, the mother should wash her hands before touching any pump or bottle parts and follow recommendations for proper pump cleaning after each use. If possible, consider having someone who is well feed the expressed breast milk to the infant.

What should I do if I had close contact with someone who is a confirmed case of 2019-nCoV?

Ans- Self monitors your health starting from the day of last contact with such a case and continues for 28 days. Watch for the development of acute onset of signs and symptoms

  • Fever
  • Cough
  • Shortness of breath or
  • Difficulty in breathing

If you observe any of the above symptoms visit the nearest health facility for further advice and treatment.  Further you must furnish the details of exposure of such patient to your health care worker.

Ans- If you develop  acute onset of  fever and symptoms  of respiratory illness, such as cough  or shortness  of breath, you should  visit nearest health facility  and the doctor's  will decide  if you need to  be tested for 2019- novel Corona Virus depending   upon your history  of travel to China/  affected  countries  or contact  with any suspected/lab confirmed   case.
