What To Know About Getting COVID While Pregnant
Description

What to do if you get COVID while pregnant The CDC says that people who are pregnant and have COVID-19 symptoms should contact their health care provider within 24 hours. However, for most parents-to-be who have COVID-19, advice on what to do when sick will be similar to the advice for other people: stay home, isolate from other people in your house and take care of yourself by resting and staying hydrated. 

'Kim found the suspension to be fair, but her reaction wasn't very dramatic. She didn't make a big deal out of it and joked that she needed a break for a day. All of Kanye's posts have been exhausting for her though,' an insider told The source labelled it 'impressive' how well The Kardashians star - who shares North, eight, Saint, Chicago, four, and Psalm, two with West, 44, - was taking it.

Take care of yourself and stay relaxed, first of all. While it's true COVID-19 does cause more severe disease in people who are pregnant compared to people of the same age who aren't, the risk of severe illness is still low overall, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

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).

It's normal to feel discouraged if you've done everything to prevent getting sick, but still test positive for COVID-19. Getting sick while pregnant, however, can cause a lot of extra stress and sometimes more serious problems -- even with viruses less serious than the one dragging on a global pandemic. So if you get COVID-19 while pregnant, what do you do? 

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.

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.

The Jesus Walks rapper - who Kim filed for divorce from in February 2021 after seven years of marriage- was removed from the photo sharing app for violating its rules about harassment after posting messages targeting Kim's boyfriend Pete Davidson and The Daily Show host, Trevor Noah.

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. 

He added: 'You're an indelible part of my life Ye. Which is why it breaks my heart to see you like this. I don't care if you support Trump and I don't care if you roast Pete. I do however care when I see you on a path that's dangerously close to peril and pain.' 

Giving birth and breastfeeding with COVID: Can COVID pass through breast milk? According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists, you most likely won't need to change your birth plan if you test positive for COVID-19 before delivery, but talk with your OB-GYN or provider. Having COVID-19 also doesn't necessarily mean your doctor will recommend a c-section.
