Coronavirus transmission from mother to baby during pregnancy is very unlikely, research shows

 

Children born to pregnant women infected with the coronavirus are less likely to be infected.

This was revealed in a medical study in Sweden.

The study, by the Karolinska Institutet and the Public Health Agency, looked at newborns whose mothers contracted code 19 during pregnancy or childbirth.

The study found that although pregnant women with COD are more likely to have premature babies, they have a lower risk of contracting the disease.

The study, published in the medical journal JAMA, looked at data on the births of about 90,000 babies in Sweden from March 11, 2020 to January 31, 2021.

The results showed that the incidence of various diseases in the children of pregnant women infected with the corona virus was slightly higher, but this was due to premature birth and was not related to cod.

A total of 2,323 babies were born to women infected with COD 19, one-third of whom were tested immediately after birth.

Only 21 babies were diagnosed with the virus within 28 days of birth, most of which showed no symptoms. Some babies were treated for diseases other than code 19.

The researchers said that pregnant women infected with corona should not be separated from newborns as it could have negative effects on the health of both mother and baby.

"The results indicate that caring for the mother and baby together does not endanger the baby's health, which is good news for all pregnant women," she said.

This is the largest study ever to examine the possibility of transmission from pregnant women to children.
