My husband and I are trying to have a child. Should we be concerned about the effects on the fetus (covid19)?

I am in good general health. I just wonder if my child would be normal if I contracted the coronavirus, especially in early pregnancy.

Good evening ma'am,

According to the World Health Organization, pregnant women are at no greater risk of complications from COVID-19 than adults in general. Scientists mention that there is no known risk of malformation or mother-to-fetus transmission. For pregnant women, the usual prevention rules apply.

Bref, no need to worry yet :)

Good evening,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist

I completed my education in telehealth at Jefferson University in Philadelphia and are recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Informatics at Université de Sherbrooke.
