The best way to protect yourself is still by washing your hands.
If I'm pregnant and I catch the coronavirus, will I give it to my unborn child?
Dr. Shirazian cited a very small study of nine pregnant women in Wuhan, China, who were all infected with COVID-19 and delivered babies in January this year."Their outcomes were the same as those who were not pregnant, and," she told POPSUGAR."But this was a very small sample of pregnant women. Reports from other coronaviruses such as SARS and MERS suggest that pregnant women could have a severe clinical course.
Dr. Gaither added,"From the few cases reported out of China, the virus may have adverse effects on the newborns, causing issues such as preterm labor, fetal distress, respiratory distress, low platelets, abnormal liver function tests, and thrombocytopenia," which is further proof that there haven't been enough cases of pregnant women with COVID-19 yet to confidently say one way or another how the virus could affect a fetus. You should talk through any concerns with your doctor.
