At this time, there is not enough evidence to determine whether the virus is transmitted from a mother to her baby during pregnancy, or the potential impact this may have on the baby. This is currently being investigated.<\/p>

Pregnant women should continue to follow appropriate precautions to protect themselves from exposure to the virus, and seek medical care early, if experiencing symptoms, such as fever, cough or difficulty breathing.\u0003\u0003<\/p>

While there is a lot of research underway, there is limited data available on the impact that COVID-19 has on a pregnant woman. Currently, there is no evidence to suggest that you at higher risk of severe illness than anyone else. However, due to changes in your body and immune system, you could be at risk of some respiratory infections. It is therefore important to take steps to protect yourself against the Coronavirus, and report possible symptoms such as fever, cough or difficulty breathing to your healthcare provider.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Presently, there is little data available to identify whether having COVID-19 increases risk of preterm delivery. Preterm births have been reported in some cases where mothers have Coronavirus, however it is not clear that these outcomes were related to maternal infection.
In situations where mothers have been unwell, some have elected to deliver their baby(s) early.<\/p>

The WHO and other reputable authorities report that common causes of preterm births include infections and chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. For this reason, pregnant women are still considered to be a high-risk community and should take extra care to avoid contracting COVID-19 through suggested personal hygiene practices and social distancing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

l mothers who have symptoms of fever, cough or difficulty breathing, should seek medical care early, and follow instructions from a health care provider. Considering the benefits of breastfeeding and the insignificant role of breastmilk in the transmission of other respiratory viruses, the mother can continue breastfeeding, while applying all the necessary precautions<\/a>, subject \u0003to medical advice. \u0003\u0003<\/p>

For symptomatic mothers well enough to breastfeed, this includes wearing a mask when near a child (including during feeding), washing hands before and after contact with the child (including feeding), and cleaning\/disinfecting contaminated surfaces \u2013as should be done in all cases where anyone with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 interacts with others, including children. \u0003\u0003<\/p>

If a mother is too ill, she should be encouraged to express milk and give it to the child via a clean cup and\/or spoon \u2013all while following the same infection prevention methods, subject to medical advice.\u0003\u0003<\/p>

This is a new virus and the World Health Organization does not know enough yet about how it affects babies or pregnant women. What they do know is that it\u2019s possible for people of any age to be infected with the virus, but so far there have been relatively few cases of COVID-19 reported among children and babies. The virus is fatal in rare cases, so far mainly among older people with pre-existing medical conditions. \u0003\u0003<\/p>
