Researchers are learning more about what pregnant women may experience if they are infected with the coronavirus that causes Covid-19.

Pregnant and recently pregnant women who are diagnosed with Covid-19 in the hospital appear to be less likely to have symptoms of fever and muscle pain but more likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit, according to a new paper published in the BMJ medical journal on Tuesday.

The study also found pregnant women with Covid-19 are at increased risk of delivering preterm, but preterm birth rates were not high.

"We found that one in 10 pregnant or recently pregnant women who are attending or admitted to hospital for any reason are diagnosed as having suspected or confirmed Covid-19, although the rates vary," the researchers -- from various institutions in Europe and China -- wrote in the paper.
