Coronavirus infection (COVID-19) is spreading rapidly in the world and in our country. It is on the agenda of our lives because there is no complete cure, treatments are still being tested, there is no vaccine yet and the disease is fatal. The rate of disease transmission in pregnant women is the same as in non-pregnant women. Medicana Avcılar Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Specialist, Op. Dr. Arzu Kublay made Covid-19 warnings for pregnant women.
Pregnant women are more sensitive to diseases than non-pregnant women, that is, the rate of contracting the disease is the same, but if pregnant women get sick, they are more likely to have a more severe disease. For this reason, the disease should be taken very seriously, but if precautions are taken, there is no need to worry. There is no evidence yet that it is transmitted from mother to baby.
Constant Anxiety Weakens Body Resistance
Dr. Arzu Kublay,'' It has been reported that the virus is transmitted by droplets released from patients through coughing and sneezing, and by contact with the patient's hand and the mucosa of the eyes, mouth and nose from surfaces contaminated with these droplets. It has been reported that the droplet does not travel beyond approximately 2 meters. It has been reported that the disease is transmitted from individuals who do not show any symptoms, that is, appear healthy, but carry the disease. What we need to do is to accept everyone as a patient and comply with the 14 rules stated by the Ministry of Health in public service announcements. Let's remember the 14 Rules; "Do not go abroad, cancel or postpone your travels. If you have gone out, spend the first 14 days at home upon your return. Isolate yourself at home to protect family members. Do not accept visitors during the time at home. Do not enter the isolated person's room without a mask. Ventilate your room frequently. Do not interact with people." Avoid contact with people, especially the elderly and those with chronic diseases. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Clean frequently used surfaces such as door handles, faucets and sinks with water and detergent every day. Do not share personal items such as towels. Wash your clothes with normal detergent at 60-90 degrees. Drink plenty of fluids, eat a balanced diet, pay attention to sleep patterns. If you have to leave the house, be sure to wear a mask. . If you have persistent fever, cough and shortness of breath, wear a mask and consult a healthcare provider. '' Pregnant women should follow all these 14 rules and keep their body resistance strong. Once you follow the rules, there is no need to worry. Unfortunately, constant anxiety and fear weaken body resistance. '' he expressed.
Pilates Can Be Done at Home
To keep their body resistance strong, it is useful to consult their doctor and take multi-vitamin mineral complexes, iron supplements and vitamin D supplements. "It will happen," noted Dr. Arzu Kublay drew attention to the following issues: ''By eating fruits such as oranges, grapefruits, tangerines and plenty of vegetables containing vitamin C, they can have a very strong immunity against this disease. They can do pilates at home, or walk if they have a treadmill, so that they will not gain weight, their immunity will be strengthened with the endorphin hormone that exercise releases into the body, and their morale will be high. I recommend reading lots of books at home. There are books especially about pregnancy, for example, one of my favorite books is "Healthy Pregnancy Guide", which can be read with pleasure at home during this process. I recommend them to listen to music, watch movies, knit or do other hobbies if they have them. This is a temporary process, they should keep that in mind. Most patients experience the disease asymptomatic, that is, without showing any signs of the disease. This is closely related to keeping their immune systems strong. In summary, I recommend that they follow the rules and keep their immune systems strong. I recommend that they go for medical check-ups by consulting their doctor. Let them stay healthy and think about the babies they will hold at the end of the pregnancy.''
