Delaying Pregnancy during a Public Health Crisis — Examining Public Health Recommendations for Covid-19 and Beyond

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: During previous public health emergencies, the issue of whether public health agencies should recommend that women avoid becoming pregnant because of potential risks to themselves and their newborns has been controversial. The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has again led to questions regarding whether women should consider postponing pregnancy because of potential virus-related risks. Such discussions involve important ethical considerations.
