????????‍????PREGNANCY is a special time full of excitement and expectations. But for expectant mothers, fear, anxiety and uncertainty overshadow this happy time due to the current situation of coronavirus infection (COVID-19). 

▶️ Question: I'm pregnant, what do I need to do? How to protect yourself?

✅ As a precaution, you should follow general medical advice about social distancing.

✅ Stay away from public places and avoid those who have symptoms of acute respiratory infection while going outside to buy food, exercise and attend receptions at the women's clinic.

❗️If you are in the third trimester of pregnancy (more than 28 weeks), you should be especially attentive to social distancing and minimizing any contact with other people. 

Research shows that pregnant women are not at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19 compared to other groups of people. 

❗️However, due to the existing changes in their body and immune system, pregnant women in the last months of pregnancy may suffer greatly from some respiratory infections, so it is important for them to take precautions. 

▶️ "It can be very difficult for pregnant women - they take care of themselves and their child, and sometimes other children, but as far as we know, they are not at greater risk than other people. For this reason, it is strongly recommended to take the same measures as other groups of people"
