Cord blood cytokines/chemokines linked to delays in toddlers exposed to SARS-CoV-2 prenatally
Prenatal SARS-COV-2 infection in pregnant women is linked to developmental delays in toddlers:
"At 6 months, 33.3% of infants exhibited cognitive delays, 20% communication delays, and 40% motor delays, increasing to 35.71%, 64.29%, and 57.14% at 24 months, respectively."

“Maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection during the first trimester was correlated with statistically significant reductions in neonatal birth weight and length, suggesting compromised early fetal growth”
COVID before or during pregnancy may confer 2 to 3 times the risk of miscarriage
“women infected with COVID-19 before or during pregnancy are at two to three times the risk for miscarriage before 20 weeks' gestation.”

More on the recent Covid and increased autism study:
"When the Covid-exposed babies reached 28 months, the study found another concerning pattern: 23 of 211 children — almost 11% — screened positive for autism spectrum disorder (...) compared with an expected prevalence of 1-2% at that age (..)"
- one more cause for serious concern.

Cranial ultrasonographic findings in newborns exposed to SARS-CoV-2: a single-centre cross-sectional analysis - Italian Journal of Pediatrics
Study in Catania, Italy, analyzed cranial ultrasounds of 278 newborns, 139 exposed to SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy.
Exposed newborns had higher rates of minor brain abnormalities (23% vs 16.5%).
“Conclusions
in our experience, the incidence of minor intracranial abnormalities was higher in SARS-COV-2-exposed newborns.”
COVID study reveals virus-induced inflammation during pregnancy, redefines vertical transmission
“COVID study reveals virus-induced inflammation during pregnancy, redefines vertical transmission A protein made by SARS-CoV-2 can pass through the placenta and cause serious inflammatory immune responses in the fetus for 66% of pregnancies.”

The impact of COVID-19 infections on pregnancy outcomes in women - BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
“Our retrospective review suggests that compared to pregnant women not infected with SARS-CoV-2, those diagnosed with COVID-19 are more likely to experience adverse outcomes such as preterm birth, cesarean delivery, and low birth weight in newborns.”

Pandemic linked to 16% rise in babies born with heart defects
Pandemic linked to 16% rise in babies born with heart defects, in a sample from a study led the University of London
The proportion of babies born with a congenital heart abnormality increased by 16 per cent after the first year of the pandemic, according to research at City St George's, University of London and published today in Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Maternal COVID-19 infection associated with offspring neurodevelopmental disorders
“Maternal COVID-19 infection changed the levels of CD4 proliferating T cells, leading to the alterations of astrocytes, endothelial cells, and excitatory neurons in offspring, contributing to the increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) in these individuals."

Neuronal progenitors of the dentate gyrus express the SARS-CoV-2 cell receptor during migration in the developing human hippocampus
There’s a limited pool of neural stem cells below the hippocampus that gradually gets used up for memory consolidation throughout your life. In depression, they aren’t turning into neurons fast enough with disastrous consequences; SSRIs speed that back up. In schizophrenia, -

Neurodevelopmental delay in children exposed to maternal SARS-CoV-2 in-utero
From a comparative study in USA and Brazil on the neurodevelopment in children born to mothers infected with SARS-CoV-2 during pregnancy, "results demonstrated that 12 of 128 exposed children (9.4%) had DD (developmental delay) versus 2 of 128 controls (1.6%). Eight of 44 additional exposed children had DD on ASQ-3 testing.. 20 of 172 exposed children (11.6%) and 2 of 128 control children (1.6%) had DD. In Rio, 12% of exposed children versus 2.6% of controls had DD. In LA, 5.7% of exposed children versus 0 controls had DD. Severe/critical maternal COVID-19 predicted below average neurodevelopment in the exposed cohort (OR 2.6). Children exposed to antenatal COVID-19 have a tenfold higher frequency of developmental delay as compared to controls.."
