Health and Wellbeing of Pregnant and Post-Partum Women During the COVID-19 Pandemic

Millions of women will give birth during the pandemic of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The consequences of COVID-19 for pregnant women and their offspring are unknown. This lack of information leads to anxiety among pregnant women, women who are considering getting pregnant, and their families. It is therefore important to assess the wellbeing and mental health of women during the COVID-19 pandemic. The international nature of the online survey will allow the evaluation of how living during the COVID-19 pandemic affects pregnant and recently pregnant women at a global level, including the evaluation of potential cultural and geographic differences.
