A long list of health conditions (pregnancy and being postpartum are two of them) can increase someone's risk of severe COVID-19 disease, including hospitalization and death. If you're pregnant and also have a medical condition, such as diabetes, asthma or high blood pressure, your doctor may recommend additional treatment. 

The Strictly Come Dancing star also recently launched her new podcast, Spinning Plates, with each one hour episode featuring an interview with another working mother about the difficulties and joys of a work/life balance.

During the challenge - which started at 9.30am in the morning - Sophie was joined by Tony Blackburn as they sang karaoke together as well as a host of other guests including Natalie Imbruglia, Tamsin Outhwaite and Michael Ball.

If you give birth with COVID-19, the ACOG notes that, according to current reports, the risk of a baby getting COVID-19 does not change based on whether the baby stays in your room or in a separately. Isolating your baby in another room may be encouraged, however, if you are very ill or if your baby is at high risk of getting very sick (all newborns are at higher risk, but some may have other medical conditions).

Experts aren't entirely sure why pregnancy can raise a person's risk of developing severe COVID-19 disease, but there are a few ideas. Changes in the body that occur during pregnancy could increase someone's chances of becoming severely ill with a respiratory virus like COVID-19. It may also be because a person's immune system is naturally depressed during pregnancy in order to prevent their body from rejecting the growing fetus, Dr. Ella Speichinger, an OB-GYN at University of Missouri Health Care, told CNET in May.

COVID-19 treatments available and believed to be effective against the omicron variant include Paxlovid, some monoclonal antibody therapies and remdesivir. While not all treatments were directly studied for use in pregnant people, your doctor may recommend one if the benefits of treating COVID-19 outweigh the unknowns. 

From the moment you decided to have a baby, did you daydream about the adventures that you and your future child might have together? A great car seat can empower you to take your baby anywhere you want to go while maintaining your peace of mind. Whether you plan to go around the block or across the country, having the best car seat that's well-suited to your baby's size and needs makes all the difference.

Some research shows that high fever, during the first trimester especially, could cause problems. If you develop a fever from COVID-19, your doctor may recommend you take acetaminophen or a fever-reducing medication. 

Having the ability to take my daughter out of the car and instantly roll her into a store for a quick errand was a game-changer. I was able to stealthily hoist the seat out of the car, transform it into a stroller, and venture into the store without her waking up. Pressing my luck, I drove to another store and did it again, turning what would have been a 10-minute nap into a 45-minute one. This is nothing new if you have an infant car seat and compatible stroller, but not having to dig the rolling portion of the travel system out of the trunk each time saves you a lot of trouble (not to mention your back). I could see the Doona being a lifesaver for parents with small cars and/or limited cargo space.

The Scenera Next would be great as a seat for the grandparents' car or as a backup that you can easily throw in any car when needed. Its ultralightweight construction would also make it a good choice for air travel.
