Q. What effect will coronavirus have on my baby if I am diagnosed with the infection?
section_content: As this is a very new virus, we are just beginning to learn about it. There is
no evidence to suggest an increased risk of miscarriage.
Emerging evidence suggests that transmission from a woman to her baby during
pregnancy or birth (vertical transmission) is probable. It is important to
emphasise that in all reported cases of newborn babies developing coronavirus
very soon after birth, the babies were well.
Given current evidence, it is considered unlikely that if you have the virus
it would cause problems with your baby’s development, and none have been
observed currently.
Across the world, emerging reports suggest some babies have been born
prematurely to women who were very unwell with coronavirus. It is unclear
whether coronavirus caused these premature births, or whether it was
recommended that their babies were born early for the benefit of the women’s
health and to enable them to recover.
In the recent UK study of 427 pregnant women with
coronavirus published on 11 May, the data reported outcomes for babies who
were born to women with coronavirus severe enough that the woman required
hospital admission. Although almost one in five were born prematurely and were
admitted to a neonatal unit, fewer than 20 babies were born very prematurely
(when the women were less than 32 weeks’ pregnant). One in 20 babies born (12
babies in total) had a positive test for coronavirus, but only half of these
babies – 6 babies - had a positive test immediately after birth, suggesting
that transmission of the coronavirus infection from a woman to her baby is
low. The number of babies born at term (37 weeks or later) to women who had
tested positive for coronavirus that required neonatal care was similar to the
number of babies born to women without the virus – about 1 in 10.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It talks about the results of the studies that were done on pregnant women.
This details one study regarding the outcomes for pregnant women giving birth while infected with coronavirus. It also gives some general information about the effects of the virus on pregnancy.

Q. Should I plan a pregnancy during the coronavirus pandemic?
section_content: Becoming pregnant during the coronavirus pandemic is a matter of personal
choice.
The Faculty of Sexual and Reproductive Healthcare (FSRH) recommend that when
considering a pregnancy, women and their partners consider the risks of
coronavirus transmission associated with routine contacts with healthcare
professionals during pregnancy, particularly if pregnancy complications may
necessitate frequent hospital attendance.
For more information, see the FSRH clinical statement: Information to support
management of individuals requesting to discontinue contraception to plan a
pregnancy during the Covid-19 outbreak.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
It doesn't really answer why women shouldn't be getting pregnant. It doesn't answer the question.
This is about whether women should become pregnant during the pandemic, not about research into pregnancy.

Q. What research is being done to monitor the impact of coronavirus on pregnant women and their babies?
section_content: The UK is conducting near-real-time surveillance (observation) of women who
are hospitalised and test positive for coronavirus during pregnancy, through
well-established systems already used by all maternity units – this is the UK
Obstetric Surveillance System (UKOSS).
Imperial College London are also running a surveillance programme (PAN-
COVID) to monitor pregnancy and neonatal outcomes for
women with coronavirus.
The COVID-19 Symptom Study app has been
developed by King’s College London and health science company ZOE. Members of
the public, including pregnant women, can use this app to report on their
health during the coronavirus pandemic.
We will update our information if and as soon as there is any change in the
evidence.
