Maternal health and malnutrition status during COVID-19 pandemic: A coherent critique

Author(s):
Verma Tripti and Gupta Alka
Abstract:
The Covid-19 epidemic directly and indirectly impacts maternal health, as well as the direct and indirect consequences. We reviewed the wide subject in a quick-release style in order to offer a complete overview to deal with an impending pandemic. A study of the direct and indirect impact of the pandemic on maternal health has been undertaken to offer an insight into the most noteworthy results to date. Working documents and news stories together with peer-reviewed publications were deemed adequate proof for quickly developing upgrades. Literature published in English from 1 January to 11 September 2020 has covered the physical and emotional health, economic, and social well-being of pregnant Womens as regards the direct or indirect impacts of COVID-19 on the health.
The danger of pregnant Womens has been shown to be higher than those who are not pregnant with serious signs. It was unlikely to transmit intrauterine, vertical, and Mid milk. For COVID-19 positive individuals, the working, delivery and nursing requirements vary. There have been reports of severe increases in maternal mental health problems, including clinical anxiety and depression. It looked that domestic violence was rising. Prenatal visits have reduced, health infrastructure has been stretched and possibly damaging practises with no proof have been introduced. Women were more likely than males to lose their income from the epidemic, and working moms faced with an increasing demand for childcare.
Major Findings: Pregnant women and mothers were not shown to be at higher risk than non-pregnant COVID-19, although pregnant individuals with symptomatic COVID-19 may be experiencing more unfavorable events in comparison with non-pregnant individuals and appear to have disproportionate socio-economic repercussions. Significant difficulties were experienced by both high and low- and medium-income countries. Additional resources should be spent at epidemiological quality research.
