Experts are learning something new every day about the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. All information is updated every day. Therefore, be sure to consult your own doctor if you have any concerns about the virus.
WHAT IS COVID 19?
Covid 19 is a new disease that affects your lungs and breathing. The virus that causes this disease is coronavirus. Symptoms are fever, cough and difficulty breathing. Stomach problems, nausea, loss of smell and taste are also observed. Symptoms appear between 2 and 14 days after exposure to the virus. People who have Covid-19 may sometimes have it without symptoms or sometimes with mild symptoms.
HOW DOES COVID-19 AFFECT PREGNANTS?
Experts are still investigating how COVID-19 affects pregnant women. Recent research shows that pregnant women are at a greater and more serious risk than normal people. According to reports, the findings are as follows;
-
Pregnant women with COVID 19 are more likely to be treated in intensive care than other women. If there is breathing difficulty, the patient is connected to a respirator. Fortunately, serious COVID 19 symptoms and fatal cases in pregnant women are still not common.
-
The high risk in pregnant women with obesity and diabetes is not present in non-pregnant women with the same condition.
HOW DOES COVID 19 AFFECT THE FETUUS? ?
As I mentioned before, we obtain new information every day as studies on COVID 19 continue. Studies are still ongoing for the effects of Covid on the fetus.
Although it is very rare, Covid has been observed to pass to the fetus. According to some studies, it has been suggested that COVID 19 causes premature birth and miscarriage, but according to other studies, this is not a proven situation. So it is not possible to reach definitive conclusions. Research on this subject is still ongoing.
