Pregnancy is stressful enough but anxiety among pregnant Mums is at all-time high right now as new research from Milton highlights. The sterilising experts at Milton conducted a survey with women in their last trimester of pregnancy* where 82.6% of respondents stated that their birth plan had changed to due Covid-19 and that 83% are concerned about the risks of contracting the virus whilst at hospital.
