The effect of COVID-19 infection on pregnancy is not completely known because of the lack of reliable data.[1] Predictions based on similar infections such as SARS and MERS suggest that pregnant women are at an increased risk of severe infection[2][3] but findings from studies as of March 2020 show that clinical characteristics of COVID-19 pneumonia in pregnant women were similar to those reported from non-pregnant adults.[4][5] There are no data suggesting an increased risk of miscarriage of pregnancy loss due to COVID-19 and studies with SARS and MERS do not demonstrate a relationship between infection and miscarriage or second trimester loss.[6]

It is unclear yet whether conditions arising during pregnancy including diabetes, cardiac failure, hypercoagulability or hypertension might represent additional risk factors for pregnant people as they do for non-pregnant people.[4] From the limited data available, vertical transmission during the third trimester probably does not occur, or only occurs very rarely. As of April 2020, there is no data yet on early pregnancy.[4]

The World Health Organization and the United Nations Population Fund advise pregnant women to do the same things as the general public to avoid infection, such as covering cough, avoid interacting with sick people, cleaning hands with soap and water or sanitizer.[3][7]
