The Lancet have published a paper today on "H1N1 flu in pregnancy USA". Key stats re H1N1 flu in pregnant women in USA over two months (Apr-May2009): 34 cases; 11 hospitalisations; 6 deaths. If pregnant women get H1N1 flu they are at risk for more severe illness. NB: key issue is *limited data* re numbers and risk. So hard to interpret.
