: A novel viral respiratory disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-C0V-2), is responsible for a pandemic situation in the world. Pregnant women are susceptible against this virus due to physiologic changes of immunologic system. Some adverse pregnancy outcome such as; death, still birth, preeclampsia, intra uterine fetal distress may increase in infected pregnant women. Infected women should be isolated and investigated and they should admit in a designated hospital with adequate facilities and multi-disciplinary expertise to manage them.

This study reviews the problems and guidelines of covid-19 in pregnancy. The limitation of this study was; we didn’t conduct systematic review among studies were done in pregnancy and COVID 19.

Obstetric and perinatal outcomes after a new coronavirus infection in the first and second trimesters of pregnancy

“…На сегодняшний день опубликовано достаточное количество систематических обзоров, несколько когортных исследований и научных работ, в которых детально представлены особенности течения инфекции SARS-CoV-2, с точки зрения материнских и перинатальных показателей [7,[10][11][12]. Результаты многих исследований наглядно демонстрируют значительное увеличение частоты неблагоприятных исходов для матери, плода и новорожденного при наличии у беременных клинических симптомов новой коронавирусной инфекции в сравнении с бессимптомным течением заболевания [13,14].…”
