In pregnancy, it is important to see our doctor and keep track of how everything is progressing, to make sure that the baby is developing well, as well as analyze the mother's health and thus prevent or detect possible complications in time.

We already have many months with the coronavirus present in our lives, but the investigations of its effects are still ongoing. In the case of pregnant women, we know that this virus is unlikely to be transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy.

Except for exceptions contemplated in the regulation, the use of a mask in Spain is mandatory in any situation for all people over six years of age, including pregnant women at the time of giving birth. Refusing to wear it is recklessness that can put everyone's health at risk, including that of the baby.

The issue of the coronavirus is one that worries us all, but it can certainly be something that causes a lot of fear to women who are expecting a baby. While it is true that we have talked about cases in which the mother gives birth while in a coma due to Covid, the reality is that these are rare.

The director of the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) of the United States, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, said on Friday that she recommends that pregnant people receive the vaccine against Covid-19, after knowing the preliminary conclusions of a new study on Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines.

The vaccine trials initially excluded pregnant women and nursing mothers. But now we are learning about new studies that reveal the effect of Covid vaccines on mothers and their babies.

Pregnant and lactating women were left out of the initial trials of Covid vaccines, so it is not recommended to apply them in this group in a generalized way, leaving the decision to each woman. Evaluating risks and benefits, each one decides whether to immunize or not, taking into account particular conditions such as having previous illnesses or being health professionals with a high risk of contagion.
