Pregnant women today are afraid: and suddenly will pick up COVID-19, which is now, no one is immune? Panic expectant mothers adds to the suspense: what will happen if there are signs of SARS? And suddenly this is not a coronavirus, but going to admit to the hospital, and there… And what will happen to those pregnant women who themselves are not ill, but had contact with the infected?
after Talking with pregnant women and watching their doctors, we know their fears, doubts and hopes.
we will Remind, for today in Russia gave birth to two women with confirmed coronavirus: 31 March and 2 April in Barnaul. Muscovite revealed the disease even before birth, which in this regard conducted by caesarean section, but her newborn girl still diagnosed COVID-19. At the inhabitant of Barnaul virus of a new type discovered after delivery, her baby was born healthy and was immediately taken under medical supervision.
22-year-old Vick is going to give birth in early may. It is, of course, slightly worried, but not panicking, as warned about what will happen to her if she suddenly will feel the slightest signs of what we usually call “cold”.
– From the beginning of pregnancy I have a contract with the clinical hospital but with the start of a pandemic, it redeveloped in the infectious diseases hospital where women give birth with the coronavirus. There are surveyed pregnant women with suspected COVID-19 and “contact” – those who are not ill, but was in contact with an infected. So all my appointments were transferred to the subsidiary.
asked to Come unaccompanied and in the mask, at the entrance each time, be sure to measure the temperature and asked to fill out a form about contacts with the infected. Test for coronavirus rent twice, at 36 and 38 weeks of pregnancy. And clinic staff check once a week. If at the time of birth, I will not be signs not only of the coronavirus, but even SARS, to have me driven to the branch.
– What if?
– In this case, I will send for examination. If COVID-19, God forbid, if confirmed, will have to give birth by caesarean section to protect the child. Breast milk has just the to Express. After birth the newborn is immediately isolated and sent to hospital until, before mom got 2 negative test coronavirus. In healthy pregnant women give birth normally only the fathers are forbidden to attend and the entrance is limited.
the 25-year-old Inna is now in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, on the day she was discharged from hospital for infectious diseases. The symptoms she had in one day – first the temperature rose, the evening was to overcome dry cough. The husband immediately took her to the hospital for a CT scan of the lungs (CT).
– I had pneumonia a mild degree, which was developed��s just for a day. The average person would be released with this home, but for pregnant women it is a reason for immediate hospitalization.
I was put in a separate box and infectionsi and immediately did the test for COVID-19, men were also sent for analysis. The test results have to wait 3 days. Meanwhile, I put a dropper with antibiotics, were given antiviral drugs.
after a couple of days it became easier. Coronavirus I have not been confirmed, my husband too. But I still was in the hospital for two weeks. Pneumonia cured me, but I’m still scared! It was not cowed, which means that the immune system I have not developed. And suddenly I got it in the hospital?! Although the doctors came to see me in uniform like the astronauts. I also gave out my hazmat suit when I took the examination in another case.
– a Lot of pregnant women met?
– Yes, very much! But I explained that in infektsionku dumped not only with symptoms of SARS and suspected the crown, but just “contact”. That is, a pregnant feels good, but when filling out a required questionnaire honestly pointed out that she had contact with a sick person. Have a contact who didn’t get sick. And there are those who never traveled and never left the house, but got sick. They are all in a single package.
it appears that all expectant mothers with symptoms of cold, and healthy, but “contact”, driven there where there are confirmed coronavirus?
– If a pregnant woman cough, runny nose, fever, her hospitalitynet in the hospital, receiving during the quarantine of women with symptoms of ARI, confirms the midwife Alena Lebedeva. – For today not all pregnant women infected with the coronavirus, transmitted through the placenta the virus to her baby. Yet such is positive, but research is still far too little research is being conducted.
a Survey of physicians indicates that special instructions how to deal with pregnant women with suspected coronavirus does not exist yet. Its development for doctors together with foreign colleagues is now occupied by academician Ramtha, obstetrician-gynecologist and fertility specialist Vyacheslav Lokshin:
– Birth in patients with coronavirus are by caesarean section. A woman in labor, like nurses, should be in the mask. Isolate newborn from infected mothers to their complete recovery, as in children up to 1 year the immune system is not yet formed. COVID-19 was not found in the fetal fluids and in breast milk however, infected mothers milk should be pumped. While we can only rely on the Chinese study, where 33 infected mothers was born 30 healthy children, COVID-19 diagnosed only three.
