Michael Ceulemans et al.

Summary: This multinational study found high levels of depressive symptoms and generalized anxiety among pregnant and breastfeeding women during the COVID-19 outbreak. Risk factors associated with poor mental health included having a chronic mental illness, a chronic somatic illness in the postpartum period, smoking, having an unplanned pregnancy, professional status, and living in the UK or Ireland.

Compromised SARS-CoV-2-specific placental antibody transfer

Caroline Atyeo et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 infection causes more severe disease in pregnant women compared to age-matched non-pregnant women. Transfer of SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies across the placenta is significantly reduced compared to other infectious diseases like influenza and pertussis, but can be partially rescued by infection-induced increases in IgG and increased FCGR3A placental expression. These findings provide insights for maternal vaccine design to boost immunity in neonates.

Higher severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection rate in pregnant patients

Erica M. Lokken et al.

Summary: This study found that the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection rate in pregnant individuals was 70% higher than similarly aged adults in Washington State, especially among those from minority racial and ethnic groups and non-English language users in medical care. Pregnant women were not protected from infection in the early months of the pandemic, suggesting they should be prioritized for COVID-19 vaccine allocation.

COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among pregnant women and mothers of young children: results of a survey in 16 countries

Malia Skjefte et al.

Summary: The study found that COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among pregnant women and mothers of young children varied globally, with higher acceptance rates in India, the Philippines, and Latin American countries, and lower rates in Russia, the United States, and Australia. The main predictors of vaccine acceptance included confidence in vaccine safety and effectiveness, concern about COVID-19, trust in public health agencies, adherence to mask guidelines, and attitudes towards routine vaccines.

Maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes of large series of SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnancies in peripartum period: A single-center prospective comparative study

Najeh Hcini et al.

Summary: Most pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 during delivery were asymptomatic, with only a small percentage developing mild or severe symptoms. Infected mothers had higher risks of post-partum hemorrhage, transfusions, and ICU admissions compared to uninfected ones, as well as a higher risk of intra-uterine fetal demise. No differences were observed in other maternal, obstetrical, or neonatal outcomes between the two groups.

Preliminary Findings of mRNA Covid-19 Vaccine Safety in Pregnant Persons

Tom T. Shimabukuro et al.

Summary: Preliminary data indicates that there are no obvious safety signals among pregnant women who received mRNA Covid-19 vaccines, but more data is needed for further confirmation. Adverse reactions such as injection-site pain were reported more frequently in pregnant women, but most pregnancies resulted in live births with some cases of preterm birth and small size for gestational age.
