A member asked:

How does the coronavirus affect pregnant women and babies?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Babies may be ok: To date, SARS-CoV-2 has not been detected in cord blood, amniotic fluid, or placenta. Maternal viremia rates appear to be low (1 percent in one study [28]), suggesting placental seeding and vertical transmission are unlikely. In reviews including up to 51 pregnant women with COVID-19, no cases of intrauterine transmission have been documented
