Hello,
With the question "Will a 13-week pregnant woman with Covid affect the fetus? ”, the doctor replied as follows:
When a pregnant woman has COVID-19, the baby in the womb is completely unaffected by this virus. Up to now, studies around the world have shown that the virus that causes COVID-19 is not transmitted from mother to child. This is a virus that is spread by surface droplets, through the respiratory tract, not through blood, not transmitted to the baby while in the mother's womb. So, you can rest assured, you should take your wife to antenatal check-ups to screen periodically according to important milestones and treat symptoms if any.
If you still have questions about whether a 13-week pregnant woman with Covid will affect her unborn baby, you can go to a medical facility under Vinmec Health System for early examination and treatment. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!

What is the egg size when you are about to ovulate?

Hello doctor, I have a question for you. I started having my period on February 4 and 5, but it didn't come back until February 6. On February 10, my period ended and I started monitoring ovulation until February 23. The egg size was 21mm. So, can you tell me how long it will take for ovulation to occur? Is it possible for ovulation to occur at the end of the menstrual cycle? I've been monitoring to have a baby boy but it's too difficult. Please advise. Thank you, doctor.

There is a history of stillbirth, how to keep the next pregnancy?

want to ask the doctor, my wife went for a pregnancy check-up and had an ultrasound, diagnosed with a pregnancy of about 6 to 7 weeks. The embryo is a bit small, the fetal heart rate is only 2/5.
