The RCM and RCOG have produced guidance on COVID-19. The guidance covers the most up-to-date advice on how coronavirus affects pregnant women and their unborn babies, how labour and birth should be managed in women with suspected or confirmed coronavirus, as well as information on neonatal care and infant feeding. It is regularly updated as new evidence and information emerges.

The advice for pregnant women is on the RCM website at https://www.rcm.org.uk/advice-for-pregnant-women/ . To see the full RCM/RCOG advice and guidance on COVID-19 including information for midwives and other maternity staff see https://www.rcm.org.uk/coronavirus/ .

The RCM is the only trade union and professional association dedicated to serving midwifery and the whole midwifery team.
