ABSTRACT:

The outspread of Covid-19 also called as the novel Coronavirus started in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province in China. From China it spread to the whole world at a very rapid rate. The common symptoms of this virus which is similar to SARS-CoV are infections in respiratory tract, acute respiratory distress syndrome, restlessness, body pain, loss of taste and smell, conjunctivitis and also pneumonia in severe cases which may or may not be life threatening. Since it affects in all age groups, pregnant women are also susceptible to this virus. However, in pregnant women with COVID-19 there is no evidence for vertical transmission but surely there is an increased risk of preterm deliveries by altering the immune response of the mother and the baby both as pregnant women are generally at risk of respiratory infections. Status of Covid-19 in Pregnant Women We concluded that pregnancy and child birth do not increase the pace of symptoms of this disease inside the body. It also does not aggravate the course of COVID-19 pneumonia. Even the women who do not get antiviral drugs treatment stay well off after child birth is over and achieve good recovery from COVID-19 pneumonia. Although negligence should be avoided while handling these type of cases as it might be life threatening.
