  2. Keeping Safe from COVID-19: Precautions for pregnant women and new mothers The pandemic has put up a lot of questions to the medical researchers and the medical fraternity as a whole. Every patient or person with a condition is very much eager to know the specifics of what the COVID-19 virus could do to them or what precautions should be taken by them specifically to keep themselves from being infected by Coronavirus. The threat from Coronavirus to a pregnant woman is undoubtedly the most burning question in the mind of every bearing woman or new mother. This is more so as it does not affect only the mother there is also a risk of the newborn or the fetus being affected too.  Even though there are not enough studies to point towards the infection of a fetus, newborns should surely be kept protected from being infected.

  3. A pregnant lady, as such, is in a very vulnerable state of her body where her body is going through a lot of bodily changes. They are more prone to infections during pregnancy and extra care should be taken to see that the woman is kept away from such environment and factors as far as possible. 

  4. Most of the precautions to be taken during pregnancy would be the same as that of a normal person but even then they are worth mentioning and emphasized in the case of a pregnant woman due to her infection-prone condition.  Precautions to be taken by pregnant women against Coronavirus is as below: • Frequent washing of hands. Hand hygiene is the top priority in the fight against coronavirus.  • Social distancing is another highly recommended step in preventing and breaking the chain of the infectious coronavirus. At least a distance of 6-8 feet is recommended in public places is the parameter of social distancing. It is better not to go to public places but if need may keep a good distance from others as a precaution against infection.  • All vaccinations especially the flu vaccinations to be taken in time. This may not protect you from coronavirus but would make you less prone to infections and viruses of those types which may cause complications during pregnancy.

  5. Respiratory hygiene or covering your nose and mouth while coughing or sneezing is a must to stop the spread of the virus through the air to a bystander. Wash your hands immediately after using napkins or a handkerchief to cover your nose and mouth while coughing and sneezing.

  6. No respiratory symptoms like persistent coughing or respiratory distress is to be ignored. Consult your doctor immediately, they are trained to advise if these are normal respiratory disorders or a COVID-19 symptom.  • It would be appropriate if you consult through virtual means where ever possible to avoid contact with other people while going for consultation or while waiting for consultation. Your prenatal visits to your gynecologist should be made virtual if it is possible and if no need is there for physical examination. Working pregnant women should be working from home. • Be more cautious when handling the newborn baby during feeding and other time. Always clean your hands before and after handling the baby.  • Don’t be stressed out, hospitals are ready and have proper systems in place to handle the situation and will surely take care that you have safe and proper care during your pregnancy whenever you need to visit them.  Be safe, keep social distancing and be sanitized is the key to prevent COVID-19.
