Anecdote This is what I’ve been saying. We are tracking multiple poor outcomes at work in our referrals to Infant Development for babies born to mothers who had COVID during pregnancy. Our biggest concerns stem from infection after 20 weeks gestation. This includes increased admissions to NICU immediately after birth, but also increased global developmental delays. It absolutely stands to reason that they are also then at increased risk for more severe outcomes when sick.
