“…Ellington et al, reported that approximately one-third of pregnant mothers were hospitalized compared with nonpregnant women. 4 On the other hand, in another study they reported a higher risk of complications and decompensation in the later trimesters of the pregnancy in such cases. 5 Yu et al reported that women receiving obstetrical care were asymptomatic; however, they developed symptoms within 2 to 3 days of their postpartum and the majority of the infections were mild.…”

“…3 During the pregnancy period, in pregnant women physiological changes occur like the height of the diaphragm, a decrease in the residual functional capacity of the lung and changes in the cellular immunity that may lead to increased vulnerability to any viral infection. 4 In a previous study, it was reported that pregnant mothers do not have a higher risk of COVID-19 infection but are at higher risk of any severe disease if infected than any nonpregnant female and the risk of preterm birth is higher in babies born to COVID-19 infected females. 1 COVID-19 infection during pregnancy period can lead to stillbirth as well as preterm birth.…”

Background: In December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) emerged in Wuhan, China, with an incredible infection rate. The vertical transmission of COVID-19 is uncertain. Pregnant females are considered a high‑risk group for the prevention and control of various communicable diseases. This study aimed to assess the obstetric perinatal outcomes in Covid-19 positive pregnant women. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study and was conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Mugda Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh from 26 March 2021 to 21 July 2022. A total of 94 pregnant women diagnosed as COVID-19 patients by RT-PCR tests were enrolled in this study as the study subjects purposively. Data were analysed by using MS Office tools. Results: In the study, 23% of participants experienced lower abdominal pain as a pregnancy symptom, with 11%, 4%, and 9% reporting premature rupture of membranes, decreased fetal movement, and antepartum haemorrhage, respectively. Among the participants, 45% had vaginal deliveries, 15% had assisted vaginal deliveries, and 40% underwent lower uterine caesarean sections. Notably, 11% required ICU admission. The study recorded maternal and neonatal mortality rates of 2% and 4%, respectively, and 9% of babies needed incubation. The average APGAR score (5 minutes) was 6.8±0.2, and the mean birth weight was 2.5±0.3. Conclusions: Lower abdominal pain and premature rupture of membranes (PROM) may be considered some major pregnancy symptoms for COVID-19-positive pregnant women. For such cases, proper facilities for LUCS, ICU and incubation are needed.

“…During pregnancy, physiological changes occur, such as a decrease in the residual functional capacity of the lung, the height of the diaphragm, and changes in cellular immunity that lead to increased susceptibility to viral infections and more severe consequences in pregnant women [3]. Recently, severe sickness among pregnant women in the antenatal period has been reported in the previous studies.…”

BACKGROUND: Pregnant women are susceptible to coronavirus infection due to physiological changes in the circulatory and immunological parameters. AIM: The current study aimed to determine the demographic factors, clinical symptoms, and fetal-maternal outcomes and also compare the blood parameters and chest X-ray results among coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) positive and negative pregnant women. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Complete blood count and Chest X-rays were performed as a routine in all pregnant women. Polymerase chain reaction for COVID-19 was performed for all women and the newborn. RESULTS: The blood parameters revealed that a significantly greater proportion of COVID-19 positive pregnant women had abnormal hemoglobin, total leukocyte count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count, bilirubin, aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and urea. CONCLUSIONS: The present study provided crucial insights into epidemiological and clinical features during the perinatal period. Chest X-rays and blood routine examination are reliable findings to prevent COVID-19 complications among pregnant women.
