COVID in pregnancy

While most people who get COVID-19 will experience only mild to moderate cold and flu-like symptoms, pregnant women have a higher risk of complications compared to non-pregnant womeof the same age. There is an increased risk of being admitted to hospital as well as needing ventilation.

Pregnant women who have other risk factors, including a pre-existing medical condition, are even more likely to need treatment in hospitalThe possibility of having a premature birth also increases if you become ill with COVID-19 and there is also a chance your new-born could need further care in hospital.However, there is currently no evidence that COVID-19 increases the risk of miscarriage or birth defects.
