COVID 19 and Pregnancy

8 February 2021 /Posted bySiobhan Obodai-Payne / 834 / 2

COVID 19 and Pregnancy

COVID 19 and Pregnancy Infographic 

 

Antenatal Care:

  • When attending antenatal consultations you will notice social distancing measures in place to reduce the transmission of COVID-19.
  • The NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) recommend the antenatal care appointment schedule should be offered in full wherever possible. Ideally and where safe, these appointments should be offered in-person, particularly to those from BAME communities, those with communication difficulties or those living with medical, social or psychological conditions that put them at higher risk of complications, or adverse outcomes, during pregnancy. 
  • Partner should be able to attend all appointments with you. 
  • If you have been diagnosed with COVID-19 and are not being hospitalised you now only need to self isolate for 10 days from the date of diagnosis. 
  • Your midwife or doctor will give you information about the ultrasound scan you’ll be offered at 11 & 20 weeks.

Intrapartum Care

  • You’ll be tested for COVID-19 on admission to the maternity unit (birthing partner too)
  • Low risk women who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 within 10 days prior to birth but are asymptomatic and wish to give birth at home or in a midwifery-led unit,  should have a fully informed discussion around place of birth with the midwife. 
  • For asymptomatic women who test positive for SARS-CoV-2 on admission, continuous electronic fetal monitoring (CEFM) during labour using cardiotocography (CTG) is not recommended solely due to the positive test, and should only be used if it is required for another reason.
  • Your birthing partner should be able to attend with you throughout. 

Postnatal Care

If you tested positive for COVID-19 from the routine testing done during the intrapartum period you’ll be informed of your test result by phone or in person if still in the maternity unit.

  • If positive; you will need to self isolate for 10 days from the date of the positive test result. 
  • If negative; follow your local government lockdown rules. 

Your midwife or doctor should:

  • review, discuss and record delivery details and follow up care needed.
  • measure your blood pressure and offer blood spot screening test.
  • consider an iron supplement if you’re anaemic post delivery

Article correct as of 8th February. 

Due to frequently changing rules i would advise anyone concerned about COVID-19 to contact their maternity unit. 

If you have been affected by COVID 19 or are worried about the current situation and how this affects your pregnancy feel free to book a private Midwifery consultation.
