[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow with the fear mongering. To those saying no one should do it — are you reading something I’m not? Care to share a link with us? Because from what I’m reading there is a risk for sure but it is not nearly as bad as you’re making it out to be.

Most of what I’ve read says that COVID positive women who have given birth generally don’t pass it on to the child. The worst case scenarios I’ve read (very severe cases) still resulted in live births and were complicated by other factors — mothers with health problems like obesity, giving birth in the worst-hit hospitals in the Bronx. (Specifically referring to the NYT article which is probably where you’re getting your worst case scenario from)

Of course there are risks, and in a perfect world everyone should wait. But anyone over 35 and/or with fertility issues needs to balance the need to wait up to possibly 18 months before this is over with their own fertility and timeline. Let’s all discuss calmly, shall we?[/quote]

Have you ever had a respiratory illness while far long in pregnancy? It's very taxing on the body. From personal experience, my temperature approached 104F my resting heart rate was 130 while the baby's was at 160. There are no allowable drugs you can take. They even warn against taking inhalers, etc. I cannot imagine fighting off COVID 19 while pregnant. [/quote]
