Does COVID-19 increase the risk of pregnancy complications?

#Question of the day:

Does COVID-19 increase the risk of pregnancy complications?

#Yes, women with COVID-19, especially those who develop pneumonia, appear to have an increased frequency of preterm labor, preterm labor, preterm birth, preeclampsia, and caesarean section due to irregular heart rate tracking. Normal fetal heart rate, which is likely related to severe maternal disease.
