coronavirus and pregnancy?

Question

anyone else concerned about the coronavirus while pregnant? i normally wouldn’t be that worried bc i’m healthy and only 32, but we know so little about the virus and i’m worried about the affects on pregnancy as our immune systems are suppressed during pregnancy. anyone else concerned?

Answer

From WHO report in China, " The disease appears to be not more severe in pregnant women than in others. In 9 examined births of infected women, the children were born by caesarean section and healthy without being infected themselves. The women were infected in the last trimester of pregnancy. What effect an infection in the first or second trimester has on embryos is currently unclear as these children are still unborn."

Answer

The flu is more dangerous for you and baby and the season isn’t over yet.

Answer

I’m terrified!  Currently 19 weeks and have a one-year old.  We are traveling to southern CA and have a layover in Washington in two weeks.  I’m so scared.  😣 I’m already an anxious person.  Even if this coronavirus really only terribly affects people who are older/have preexisting conditions, it is still spreading, and will obviously continue to spread, and nerve wrecking to think it’ll hit just about everywhere at some point.  that just freaks me out.  😰

Answer

I’m worried due to working in the medical field and unable to have access to MASKS! I work with eyes but I am in close contact with patients. I will just make sure to wash wash and wash my hands lol. I am 27 weeks pregnant and really don’t want to get sick 🥺

Answer

I’m not worried about it in general. It’s mostly only dangerous if left untreated in immune compromised people. 
This is comparable to the common cold, and influenza is more dangerous. Just wash your hands and don’t touch your face. Keep alcohol based hand sanitizers handy, and if you feel like you might have symptoms, contact your doctor. It’s really nothing to freak out about, just treat it like the common flu.

Answer

No

Answer

I read early tests seem promising, that it’s not automatically transferred to the baby, but it’s still very early to know how it effects breastfeeding and whatnot.

Answer

Yes...I'm the same way.  Try not to worry but can't stop thinking about it and so worried about my kids.
