Pregnant women seen in hospital with coronavirus may be at an increased risk of being admitted to intensive care, a study has suggested.
Expectant mums infected with the virus are also less likely to show symptoms, according to the new findings. Researchers also found that they are more likely to give birth early, with their newborns more likely to be admitted to a neonatal unit.
An international team of researchers, including experts from the World Health Organisation (WHO), reviewed evidence from 77 studies involving more than 11,000 pregnant and recently pregnant women admitted to hospital and diagnosed with suspected or confirmed Covid-19.
