With the coronavirus cases increasing steadily across the globe, one question uppermost in many people’s minds is, how does it affect pregnant women?

But it is a fact that nobody really known how it affects pregnant women or what affect it may have on your unborn child. The UK case of a newborn testing positive just after childbirth does not prove that the baby was infected in the womb. The mother tested positive after delivery. Doctors just don’t know if the infection happened during or before birth. Also Read - Coronavirus: How Long Does Protection From COVID-19 Vaccines Last?

Use protective masks

You don’t have to wear them all the time. But if you are going out or find yourself in a crowd, then this is a must. If you have to go in for a doctor consultation too you need to wear a mask. This will keep you safe.

Eat healthy foods

You need to also boost your immunity with healthy foods. Drink 8 to 10 glasses of water every day and have a lot of fruits and vegetables. Sleep properly and be active.
