Dangers of COVID 19 for pregnant women
Dangers of COVID 19 for pregnant women.
There is alot we still do not know about this corona pandemic. A tiny virus multiplying itself and causing a great harm all over the world.
It’s not hidden that this virus has come to a fore even in the cases of pregnant women.
With antenatal classes cancelled, doctor’s, offices closing and restrictions on non patients, such as fathers. Covid-19 has added a whole new level of anxiety in pregnant women.
But the real question arises- Is this virus also deadly for the foetuses inside the womb?.
Those unborn children who haven’t had a glance at this beautiful yet changing world are also under the shoot of this virus?
The study about this worldwide spreading corona virus presents that pregnant women are equally susceptible to corona virus like any other person. There’s no increased susceptibility. They should take the exact same precautions like we are taking. Complete isolation , home quarantine and keeping ourselves sanitized are the only ways to get a escape from this heinous virus.
With the limited data available so far it’s very difficult to say whether this disease is vertically transmissible or not but with the current patient scenaio and past experiences it’s probably not a vertically transmissible infection. Vertically transmissible implies that pregnant women can transfer the infection to the baby.
If pregnant women have any kind of emergency they should get all required care even in the lockdown period and hospitals are providing this kind of care. As of now, If a pregnant women tests positive for corona virus then she recieves the same treatment like any other person because their is no effective vaccine yet. Their has not been any significant date regarding the complications in pregnancy like increase in miscarriage rate or any harm to foetuses. The only observation which came into sight was of a premature delivery and the reason was covid -19 is yet not sure. Even breast feeding can be continued by a affected patient as breast milk does not transfer the infection but contact surely can.
