COVID 19 IN PREGNANCY
COVID-19 Infection in Pregnancy
Although the risk of severe illness is low, when compared to non-pregnant women, pregnant women with COVID-19 are at higher risk of admission to hospital, critical care, and invasive ventilation (intubation).
When compared to non-pregnant women, pregnant women are at increased risk of mortality due to COVID-19.
Risks of severe morbidity from COVID-19 in pregnant women appears to be associated with risk factors including age ≥ 35 years old, asthma, obesity, preexisting diabetes, preexisting hypertension and heart disease.
COVID-19 infection in pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of pre-eclampsia (severe high blood pressure of pregnancy), blood clots, pre-term labour and stillbirth.
Masking and social distancing are helpful preventive measures but COVID-19 vaccination is the only reliable way for pregnant individuals to protect themselves, their families and their pregnancies.

You can be vaccinated in any trimester of pregnancy or when breastfeeding.
