This is a summary of facts that can be helpful for you.

Ø  Pregnant women with COVID-19 have a higher risk of certain complications compared to non-pregnant women with COVID-19 of the same age, including:

·        An increased risk (about 3 times higher) of needing admission to an intensive care unit.

·        An increased risk (about 3 times higher) of needing invasive ventilation (breathing life support).

Ø  COVID-19 also increases the risk of certain pregnancy complications including:

·        A slightly increased risk (about 1.3 times higher) of having their baby born prematurely (before 37 weeks of pregnancy)

·        An increased risk (about 3 times higher) of their baby needing admission to a newborn care unit.

Ø  Pregnant women with certain underlying medical conditions are more likely to have a severe illness from COVID-19 compared to pregnant women without these conditions. The conditions are:

·        Being older than 35 years

·        Overweight or obese (body mass index above 30 kg/m2)

·        Pre-existing (pre-pregnancy) high blood pressure

·        Pre-existing (pre-pregnancy) diabetes (type 1 or type 2)

Ø  There is no data showing COVID-19 can cause miscarriage.

 

Ø  It is thought to be uncommon for pregnant women to pass the virus on to their babies. Current data has not confirmed vertical transmission (mother to baby in-utero transmission).

 

Ø  No safety concerns have been identified for women who received a Pfizer vaccine during pregnancy. Complications such as premature delivery, stillbirth, small for gestational age infants, and congenital anomalies occurred at a similar rate to what is seen in the general population.

 

Ø  If you are breastfeeding, you can receive a COVID-19 vaccine at any time. You do not need to stop breastfeeding before or after vaccination.

 

Ø  COVID-19 vaccination may provide indirect protection to babies by transferring antibodies through the placenta (for pregnant women) or through breastmilk (for breastfeeding women).
