Are you pregnant and worried about Corona Virus?

ARE YOU PREGNANT AND WORRIED ABOUT CORONA VIRUS?

Here’s what all you need to know…

Don’t let the virus get the better of you, Dr Shweta Goswami, Medical Director at Zeeva Fertility Clinic shares some tips.

According to a recent study published online in The Lancet, of nine pregnant women in their third trimester in Wuhan, China, who had pneumonia caused by COVID-19 none of the women developed severe illnes and all of their babies were born healthy. The risk of passing the infection to the foetus appears to be very low, and there is no evidence of any foetal malformations or effects due to maternal infection with COVID-19. People need to take special precautions rather than worry about it.

Avoid visiting crowded places

Very effective steps are being taken by the Government of India to avoid congestion and save everyone. Pregnant women should avoid going to crowded places. They should avoid going to such places where many people gather together because the risk of spreading the infection in such places is very high. If for some reason you have to go to such places, then use a mask that covers your face properly. Also, do not touch the mask other than straps to wear and remove it and also make sure to keep a distance of at least 1 metre from any person.

Awareness is key

Be very aware of the potential symptoms of coronavirus and the regular flu symptoms so that you can call your health provider if you have any, which include fever, respiratory symptoms or possibly even diarrhoea. Additionally, if you have been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19, you should monitor your own temperature and be especially aware of any respiratory symptoms. Your doctor can advise best steps for care and testing.

Proper hand cleaning

You all know that it is very important to clean your hands. These days, when the coronavirus is spreading rapidly, cleaning of hands has become even more necessary. It is necessary to wash your hands thoroughly with soap several times a day for at least 20 seconds each time. If you are in a place where water is not available, keep-using alcohol based sanitizer to clean your hands.

Regular online check ups

Regular check-ups during pregnancy are very important for the health of your baby and you. To minimise any potential danger, it is necessary that you have your check up periodically.  But during this hour of corona crisis, except important pregnancy check ups, try consulting your doctor online. Many offices are already working to consolidate in-person appointments (for example, if someone is coming in for an ultrasound, a routine prenatal check might be added to the same visit). So apart from social distancing, try and cut your routine checks ups to online consultations. But at the same time it is very important to inform your doctor immediately if any health problems arise. 

Do not touch the mouth again and again

To avoid any virus, it is necessary that we prevent it from entering our body. Some people keep touching their mouth again and again. By doing this, you provide a way for the virus to reach your body. It is important for pregnant women as well as everyone else to avoid touching their mouth repeatedly. If you have a habit of repeatedly touching your mouth, eyes, nose and ears, change this habit immediately. It is even more important for pregnant women because it can be harmful to their health as well as their baby’s.

Get enough sleep

It is important for pregnant women to keep the body and mind fully energised. To keep the body and mind energised, you need to get enough sleep. It has been proven in many researches that by getting enough sleep each day, our body’s immunity increases profoundly. If your immunity is high, you can easily avoid many health problems. Along with this, moments of rest are very important for the baby growing in your womb. So do not compromise and make sure you get enough sleep.

Balanced diet

The immune system’s efficacy dips during pregnancy, which places pregnant people at a higher risk for contracting many transmissible illnesses, whether food borne or respiratory. So it is very necessary for expectant mothers to have a good and nutritious diet. Your child also gets nutrients from what you eat. A balanced diet should be your first priority to provide proper nutrition to your baby during pregnancy. The right diet and all kinds of vitamins increase your body’s ability to fight against diseases. So without delay, get a diet chart from your specialist and eat a balanced diet.

Tre Wellness: A Thoughtfully Curated Healing Retreat Near Hyderabad

Just two hours from Hyderabad, surrounded by open skies, birdsong, and the calming calls of peacocks, Tre Wellness feels more like a serene healing sanctuary than a typical wellness escape. Located in Kolkunda, the 20-room retreat blends Ayurveda, naturopathy, and mindful hospitality into a deeply restorative experience. Sinduri Vuppala shares her stay at Tre Wellness, where every detail is thoughtfully designed around holistic wellbeing. I honestly didn’t know what to expect before arriving. Wellness retreats often promise transformation, but very few manage to balance authentic healing with genuine comfort. Tre Wellness surprised me because it did both, thoughtfully, quietly, and without feeling performative. The experience began on a warm and welcoming note the moment we checked in. Before anything else, there was a detailed wellness questionnaire followed by a one-on-one consultation with the in-house doctor that lasted close to 30 minutes. It didn’t feel rushed or standardised. The doctors genuinely tried to understand lifestyle patterns, health concerns, stress levels, sleep habits, digestion, and overall well-being before suggesting therapies. What stood out immediately was how personalised everything felt. Rather than placing guests into fixed wellness packages, the team carefully blended Ayurveda and naturopathy based on individual needs. By lunchtime on the very first day, each of us already had a customised healing plan prepared. My therapies began with an Abhyanga massage, and from there, every treatment felt intentionally curated. Day two was Udwartana, an Ayurvedic dry powder massage therapy known for stimulating the lymphatic system and activating pressure points and improving circulation, while another involved a deeply relaxing potli massage. Reflexology is also given daily for around 15 minutes as part of the healing routine. There were also mud packs, liver treatments, water yoga, face yoga, detox therapies, and herbal treatments woven seamlessly into the schedule. Every guest follows a structured

A Slower Side of Goa: Elements by Rosetta and Evenings at Ouzo Delmar

There’s a version of Goa that doesn’t try too hard to be seen. It’s quieter, a little more contained, and far more rewarding if you let yourself slow down. That’s the space Elements by Rosetta fits into. Set in Varca, slightly removed from the busier stretches, the property feels designed to hold you in, not isolate you, but gently detach you from everything outside. You’re close enough to the beach, but not constantly aware of it. Instead, the focus stays within, on space, light, and how you move through it. The layout is simple but effective. Low-rise blocks frame a central pool that becomes the heart of the property. Most rooms face into it, so no matter where you are, there’s always a visual connection to water. Check-in is smooth, without the usual over-explaining. You’re handed fresh coconut water, branded, yes, but still refreshing enough to land in your room, within minutes. Room tariffs typically range from ₹10,000 to ₹15,000, with higher rates for premium categories. The jacuzzi room with direct pool access is easily the one to pick. It changes the way you use the space entirely. You’re not scheduling pool time, you’re stepping in and out of it between everything else. The pool itself carries most of the day’s energy. Some people are stretched out with books, some in the water, others parked by the poolside bar, which adds just enough movement to keep things from feeling too still. It never tips into being loud, which is what makes it work. Mornings are slow. Afternoons are slower. Evenings naturally find their way back to the jacuzzi or a quiet corner of the property. It’s indulgent, but in a way that doesn’t feel forced. Beyond the obvious, the property is fairly well-rounded. There’s a small game room, a gym,

Eat Clean with Eshanka: Dubai to Delhi Wellness Journey

With her professional base in Dubai and strong roots in Delhi, Eshanka Wahi brings together global business acumen and deeply personal purpose. An alumna of the European Business School, London, where she earned her Master’s in International Business, and a BCom (Honours) graduate from Delhi University, her academic foundation is firmly strategic. But her real education, she says, came from lived experience. At 21, she returned to India to build her first company from the ground up. “Those early years taught me resilience, decision-making, and the courage to build something from scratch,” she reflects. By 23, she had expanded independently into Dubai, navigating a new culture and market. Each transition strengthened her belief in “intentional growth, self-leadership, and manifestation backed by consistent action.” Wellness as Philosophy Eshanka describes her professional identity as rooted in holistic wellness, conscious living, and culinary nutrition. “My work is not confined to a single title; it is an extension of my beliefs and the way I choose to live,” she shares. Her journey into wellness unfolded organically. What began as personal exploration evolved into a calling. “Wellness was never just an interest; it was a philosophy and a responsibility.” Through recipes, products, and immersive experiences, she aims to simplify well-being. “Wellbeing is not a luxury; it is foundational to how we show up in every role we play.” Soul-Driven Creation What distinguishes her brand is alignment. “Everything I create is deeply soul-driven,” she says. Nothing is trend-led or mechanical. Her recipes use ingredients she personally trusts; her products reflect practices she follows; her retreats are designed to foster genuine reconnection. “This alignment between my beliefs, my lifestyle, and my work naturally differentiates me,” she explains. “Everything is built from authenticity, intention, and soul.” A Pandemic Pivot During COVID-19, her primary company in corporate events and

MUMBAI | Holistic Wellness Practitioner, Celebrity Yoga Expert & Founder, Anshuka Yoga

Anshuka Parwani’s life has always revolved around movement, but its meaning has evolved with time. A holistic wellness practitioner and celebrity yoga expert, she grew up learning yoga under her mother’s guidance, building an early foundation in mind-body awareness. Alongside that, she was a competitive athlete and went on to become a national-level gold medalist swimmer. Later, she trained as a commercial pilot, an experience that shaped her discipline, focus, and resilience. But it was a serious accident over a decade ago that altered her trajectory. “My recovery journey through yoga did not just rebuild my physical strength,” she reflects, “it transformed my understanding of healing, inner power, and holistic health.” That period of rebuilding reshaped not just her body, but her philosophy. Today, she channels that lived experience into her work, helping others discover strength, balance, and conscious living. Wellness as Foundation Anshuka describes herself as a wellness entrepreneur and educator. “I want people to reconnect with their bodies and their inner selves, and build strength in a holistic and sustainable way,” she says. Her approach is rooted in firsthand transformation, through movement, breathwork, mindful living, and conscious nutrition. For her, wellness is not indulgence; it is infrastructure. “When people feel stronger, calmer, and more balanced, it changes the way they live and relate to the world,” she explains. Personalised, Not Performative What sets her apart is her bio-individual approach. “No two bodies are the same, and wellness should reflect that uniqueness,” she says. Blending traditional yoga with functional movement and scientific application, she prioritises sustainability over spectacle. She rejects extremes and trend-driven practices. Instead, her philosophy centers on consistency, integrity, and authenticity. “Wellness is not about shortcuts,” she emphasises. “It’s about building a foundation that supports you for life.” Building Beyond the Studio From private sessions to retreats,
