“…In addition, the measures to deal with COVID-19 (such as isolation, physical distance, home isolation, and remote consultation with health professionals, etc.) may result in the inability to obtain the expected level of support and care before delivery, which may increase the psychological pressure of pregnant women ( 6 , 7 ). Furthermore, studies have found that SARS-CoV-2 has direct neuroinvasion ability ( 8 ), which may attack the human central nervous system and have a potential impact on the survivors' cognitive and neuropsychological functions ( 9 , 10 ).…”

Background: Previous studies on the pneumonia outbreak caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have focused on the general population and pregnant women, while little is known about the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on retardation during and after pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the potential influence of SARS-CoV-2 on infant neurobehavioral development.Methods: A case-control study was conducted in Wuhan Maternal and Child Health Hospital, China. Nine pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection and 9 controls matched by maternal age, parity, and status of chronic disease were included. Infantile neurobehavioral development was assessed through the Ages and Stages Questionnaires Edition 3 (ASQ-3).Results: The majority of pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 experienced cesarean section (7 of 9), which was higher than the control group (5 of 9). The throat swabs of all newborn were negative. We found that compared with the control group, neonates of mothers with SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy had lower scores in communication, gross movement, fine movement, problem solving, and personal-social domains; but only fine movement domain yielded statistical significance (P = 0.031).Conclusion: Infection with SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy may have a certain impact on infant neurobehavioral development. Further studies with larger sample size are warranted for validation.

“…The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant public health emergencies and resulted in increased fear, anxiety, and uncertainty, especially among pregnant women who are more susceptible to respiratory pathogens and are at an increased risk of severe pneumonia due to the immunological and physiological changes that occur during pregnancy [81]. The prevalence of depression in pregnant and postpartum women increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, ranging from 17% to 31% [13,[81][82][83][84][85][86]. A systematic review and meta-analysis of 19 studies revealed that the pooled prevalence of depression in pregnant and postpartum women during the COVID-19 pandemic was 25% [83].…”
