Abstract

Background: The potential hazards of the COVID-19 coronavirus illness have prompted considerable caution. Pregnant women's clinical, radiological, and neonatal data can reveal serious issues such as pneumonia.
Aim and objectives: to assess third-trimester COVID-19-infected mothers' and third trimester babies' outcomes by comparing COVID-19-infected pregnant women to those without infection.
Subjects and methods: One hundred pregnant women were split into two groups for this prospective observational study at Benha University Hospitals' obstetrics and gynaecology department: Group (A) (Case Group): involved 50 pregnant women confirmed diagnosis with COVID19, Group (B) (Control Group): included 50 normal pregnant women without COVID19 confirmed infection for at least 3 months.
Result: There was significant difference regarding maternal outcomes in both study groups.
Conclusion: There is insufficient evidence to conclude that SARS-CoV-2 infection boosts the chances of maternal complications, foetal, and neonatal problems. However in this study we found that difficult breast feeding and NICU admission was increase in patients with COVID 19 which suggests the need for investigation of Cyanosis, Lymph node enlargement, WBCs and CRP to lower the risk of adverse outcomes.
