Vidcast: https://youtu.be/ARMa-ZiUGMk When a pregnant women catches CoVid she is 60% more likely to land in the ICU and almost twice as likely to require a ventilator for a prolonged period of time. An international team reviewed 77 available studies covering more than 11,400 women with data collection starting in late 2019. Their results also warned that CoVid-infected pregnant women were 60% less likely than non-pregnant women to present with the common CoVid symptoms of fever and muscle aches. Their babies were more likely to suffer pre-term birth and to land in the neonatal intensive care unit. Pregnant women with CoVid are sicker than they seem and require close monitoring. https://www.bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m3391 #covid #pregnancy #ventilator #icu #preterm
