Don't need to wait: If you and your husband are healthy with no underlying conditions, you can conceive whenever you choose. Once pregnant, be wise about your exposures- no concerts or large events or travel, but otherwise live a healthy lifestyle and enjoy your pregnancy. Hospitals and Dr's offices are all taking special precautions so you feel safe and delivery locations are carefully monitored.

There were also some COVID positive women who preented for delivery with bad out
