Are pregnant women with COVID-19 at increased risk for adverse pregnancy outcomes?

Last modified Mar 13, 2020 by Ashley Walker (Unlicensed)

We do not have information on adverse pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with COVID-19. Pregnancy loss, including miscarriage and stillbirth, has been observed in cases of infection with other related coronaviruses [SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV] during pregnancy. High fevers during the first trimester of pregnancy can increase the risk of certain birth defects.
