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.
