BENGALURU: The second wave of Covid-19 has not spared pregnant women -- while many miscarriages have been reported among women in their first and second trimester, deaths have also gone up considerably in Karnataka, say gynaecologists and obstetricians. Though data compilation is yet to happen, experts warn that the number of deaths, stillbirths and underweight babies is increasing, and needs immediate attention. They demand that the state government issue separate guidelines for the care and treatment of pregnant women and new mothers immediately.
