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!
