Pregnancy and Childbirth in the Time of COVID-19
Pregnancy is meant to be an exciting journey for expectant couples. But as the world grapples with the rising number of COVID-19 cases, this joyous experience is marred by uncertainty and worry.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pregnant people may be at an increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19 as compared to non-pregnant people. There may also be an increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, such as preterm birth among women with COVID-19.
- Stay home and limit your interactions with other people.
- Strengthen your immune system by taking your prenatal vitamins, eating nutritious food, and getting enough exercise and at least eight hours of sleep.
