Based on available information, pregnant people seem to have the same risk as adults who are not pregnant. As yet, there is no evidence that pregnant who get corona infection are more at risk of serious complications. It is expected the large majority of pregnant will experience only mild or moderate cold/flu-like all symptoms. Cough, fever, shortness of breath, headache, and loss of sense of smell are some of the other relevant symptoms.

However, we do know that pregnant is slightly at an increased risk of infection pertaining to their lower immunity. Pregnant have changes in their bodies that may increase their risk of some infections and studies show that Pregnant have a higher risk of severe illness when infected with viruses from the same family as COVID-19 and other viral respiratory infections, such as influenza.
