Pregnancy

Most babies are placed in the cephalic position, that is, with the head on the mother's pelvis, between weeks 28 and 32 of gestation, in order to be able to descend easily through the birth canal. But some continue in another position, breech (sitting on the mother's pelvis) or transverse, weeks later.

One of the main concerns of pregnant women at the beginning of the pandemic was whether the coronavirus could cross the placenta and infect the baby, which is known as vertical transmission.

Covid is a disease that most of the time is not serious, but unfortunately there are people who end up admitted to the ICU, pregnant women being more susceptible to complications.
