COVID-19 and Pregnancy

The impact of COVID infection on pregnancy is unknown due to a lack of clinical data. According to the information available, COVID-19 infection has a comparable effect on pregnant women as it does on non-pregnant people. However, the impact of this illness on labour is greater. Pregnancies in women with COVID-19 are more likely to result in premature labour. It is regarded as the main consequence of COVID-19 infection. According to the research, the human placenta may include components that aid in the spread of COVID-19.

• Preterm labour
