Most importantly: there is no transmission of coronavirus from mothers to fetuses. This is the conclusion of a study conducted in Wuhan, which reveals that there is no vertical transmission in the final stages of pregnancy; all newborns examined were free of the virus.
From UNFPA, the United Nations agency responsible for sexual and reproductive health, Dr. Natalia Kanem, Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), said: “While fear and uncertainty are natural responses to the coronavirus, we must be guided by facts and verified information. We must unite in solidarity, fight against stigma and discrimination, and ensure that people have access to the information and services they need, especially pregnant and breastfeeding women.”
Pregnancy and coronavirus
Pregnant women must take the same preventative measures as other adults to avoid infection:
-Avoid direct contact with people who are coughing or sneezing
-Wash your hands frequently with soap and water or alcohol-based solutions
-cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow when coughing and sneezing
-Cook the meat and eggs thoroughly.
Although they must also:
-not to be around too many people these days
-avoid unnecessary visits
-exercise at home
-eat healthily
-drink plenty of water
-rest
What the WHO says
"To date, there has been no systematic data collection on COVID-19 infection in children and pregnant women, and we continue to study how the new virus affects them. At present, there is no evidence to suggest that children are more susceptible to COVID-19 infection than the general population."
"According to the findings of the WHO-China joint mission report (February 16-24, 2020), children under 18 years of age accounted for 2.4% of all registered cases, most of which were identified through contact tracing within the family. Furthermore, the report indicated that the disease appeared to be relatively mild in children, with a very small proportion of severe (2.5%) or critical (0.2%) cases recorded among those under 19 years of age."
Breastfeeding and coronavirus
Given the benefits of breastfeeding and the limited role of breast milk in the transmission of other respiratory viruses, the mother can continue breastfeeding.
