Coronavirus while pregnant?

Scouting for information more than anything. I am 13 weeks pregnant and already have two nursery going germ factories kids at home. Has anyone received any advice from midwives or doctors about the risks of Coronavirus during pregnancy? All that I have found seems to be based on studies where the mother is already quite pregnant.

In general too I believe the risk of miscarriage is elevated if the woman has an infection in earlier pregnancy but no idea if any stats already exist for this virus.

Of course I will ask my midwife as well but I am abroad so interested to know what the UK advice is too.

If you have no underlying health conditions which are in the at risk categories (high blood pressure, diabetes, immune suppressed ect) it’s the same as getting the flu

We've had this thread multiple times. Go here for the latest authoritative information from the Royal College of Obstetricians regarding coronavirus and pregnancy:
