Am in week16 when I experienced bleeding. I was also tested Covid positive on that day. Is that the reason? Or my food intake?

Dear user, thank you for your question! Based on latest evidence to date, an analysis showed that more than 35,000 people with COVID-19 during pregnancy in 2020 showed a higher rate of preterm delivery than the baseline rate of preterm delivery in the United States. In addition, there was a higher rate of preterm delivery among people who were infected during the third trimester compared to people who were infected during their first or second trimester. If you have COVID-19 infection during pregnancy, do inform your obstetrician so that he or she is aware of your condition. With regards to food intake, do avoid certain foods that are not safe for pregnancy such as raw meat, raw eggs, unpasteurised cheeses and yogurt.
