Eating a healthy, balanced diet;

FAQ:
Are pregnant women more likely to have complications?
There is no scientific evidence, by far, proving that a pregnant woman is more vulnerable to complications if she becomes infected with COVID-19.
Can a pregnant mother transmit COVID-19 to her fetus?
Current evidence indicates that the disease can be transmitted from a pregnant woman to her baby during pregnancy or childbirth (vertical transmission). However, it is important to stress that all reported cases of newborns contracting COVID-19 shortly after birth have recovered well.
Can COVID-19 cause a miscarriage or premature birth?
There is no evidence that COVID-19 could increase the risk of miscarriages in pregnant women. As for the risk of premature births, reports indicate that some babies were born prematurely while their mothers were infected with COVID-19, but it is unclear whether the virus was the reason.
