Overview

Coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) refers to a type of contagious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2. The signs and symptoms of Covid-19 might vary but commonly include coughing, breathing difficulties, fever, loss of taste, headaches, loss of smell and exhaustion. The physical changes that occur in women's bodies due to pregnancy may make them prone to respiratory viruses like Covid-19. The risk of getting infected with Covid-19 in case of expectant mothers is generally minimal. However, exposure to this virus during pregnancy has been linked to a higher risk of premature delivery. Women who have Covid-19 during pregnancy may be more prone to other pregnancy issues, like delivering a stillborn infant. Pregnant women who are overweight, older or already have certain medical disorders like diabetes or hypertension are more likely to suffer from negative effects of Covid-19. This book unravels the recent studies on the relationship between Covid-19 and pregnancy. Its extensive content will provide the readers with a thorough understanding of the topic.
