What to do if you get COVID while pregnant The CDC says that people who are pregnant and have COVID-19 symptoms should contact their health care provider within 24 hours. However, for most parents-to-be who have COVID-19, advice on what to do when sick will be similar to the advice for other people: stay home, isolate from other people in your house and take care of yourself by resting and staying hydrated. 

Yawning, snoozing and cradled by nannies, Ukraine's surrogate babies are pictured in a makeshift underground nursery in Kyiv as Putin's missiles rain down above- leaving their biological parents unable to collect them. 

He stated: 'Affluent people can give their kids everything they want, but they're not usually going to get what they need. Loving a child is a lot harder if you really give a d***. "No" takes a lot more energy. It's a lot easier to say "yes."'

And Sam Everingham, global director of Growing Families, told the i  'It is such a difficult situation and we are getting many calls daily from couples who have got surrogates or embryos in Ukraine who are desperate for information.'

A select few biological parents have managed to complete the process, including one British couple, Metaish and Manisha Parmar.  Pictured: Nurse Antonina Yefymovych feeds a surrogate-born baby inside a special shelter owned by BioTexCom clinic in a residential basement, as Russia's invasion continues, on the outskirts of Kyiv, Ukraine on March 15

Impacts of COVID-19 on the pregnant person and their baby mostly center on delivery, as women with COVID-19 are more likely to give birth preterm or experience a stillbirth than women who don't have COVID-19. 

A long list of health conditions (pregnancy and being postpartum are two of them) can increase someone's risk of severe COVID-19 disease, including hospitalization and death. If you're pregnant and also have a medical condition, such as diabetes, asthma or high blood pressure, your doctor may recommend additional treatment. 

If you give birth with COVID-19, the ACOG notes that, according to current reports, the risk of a baby getting COVID-19 does not change based on whether the baby stays in your room or in a separately. Isolating your baby in another room may be encouraged, however, if you are very ill or if your baby is at high risk of getting very sick (all newborns are at higher risk, but some may have other medical conditions).

It's normal to feel discouraged if you've done everything to prevent getting sick, but still test positive for COVID-19. Getting sick while pregnant, however, can cause a lot of extra stress and sometimes more serious problems -- even with viruses less serious than the one dragging on a global pandemic. So if you get COVID-19 while pregnant, what do you do? 

Parents and students at Manhattan's Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science, and Engineering were in shock to see the return of a Spanish teacher who was resigned from the school for 'sucking a man's nipple' during a Zoom lesson. 

Take care of yourself and stay relaxed, first of all. While it's true COVID-19 does cause more severe disease in people who are pregnant compared to people of the same age who aren't, the risk of severe illness is still low overall, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
