The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has issued research findings showing that the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) increases the risk of pregnancy complications.  NIH notes that those with moderate to severe COVID-19 infection were more likely to have a cesarean delivery, to deliver preterm, to die around the time of birth, or to experience serious illness from hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, postpartum hemorrhage, or from infection other than COVID-19.  To read the NIH announcement and summary of its research findings on COVID-19 causing pregnancy complications, use the link below.
