As China was the epicenter of the COVID-19 Pandemic, i's natural to wonder how have pregnant women fared in China. Have pregnancies been successful in China? Have there been any maternal deaths, and what does this mean for you? Is the mother's immune system impacted with COVID-19 or otherwise during pregnancy (referred to as 'Immunosuppression')? If you're a COVID-19 positive mother, is preterm labor likely?
In Episode 3, we analyze emerging data from China and India, and review the long-standing theory of Immunosuppression in Pregnancy, while continuing to dive deeper into the potential effects of the Coronavirus on Pregnancy.
