Fear of Coronavirus, Stress and Fear of Childbirth in Polish Pregnant Women during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Joanna Dymecka et al.

Summary: The study found a significant, moderate, and positive relationship between fear of COVID-19, perceived stress, and fear of childbirth, with fear of COVID-19 acting as a statistically significant mediator between perceived stress and fear of childbirth. The COVID-19 pandemic has a negative emotional impact on pregnant women, causing fear, stress, and increased fear of childbirth, leading women to perceive childbirth during the pandemic as a threat to their well-being and health. Supporting women in the perinatal period and ensuring safe childbirth is therefore crucial.

Pregnant women with severe or critical coronavirus disease 2019 have increased composite morbidity compared with nonpregnant matched controls

Chelsea A. DeBolt et al.

Summary: Pregnant women with severe and critical COVID-19 are at an increased risk for certain morbidities when compared with nonpregnant women. Despite higher comorbidities in the nonpregnant group, pregnant women had a higher risk for composite morbidity, intubation, mechanical ventilation, and ICU admission. This suggests that pregnancy may be associated with worse outcomes in women with severe and critical COVID-19.
