Two new studies are once again proving the importance of vaccinating pregnant women

Two recently published studies (one from Israel) add further evidence as to why pregnant women should be vaccinated against corona.

Among the alarming findings was that pregnant women who are sick in Corona and suffer from symptoms are at increased risk for bleeding, emergency birth and more.

At the beginning of the corona epidemic they were still afraid to vaccinate pregnant women, but today more and more scientific evidence shows that pregnant women who are vaccinated keep themselves and the fetus in pity.

According to two new studies, women who suffer from corona and develop symptoms are at risk for emergency complications and other problems during pregnancy.

In addition, the disease also endangers their children.

The first study found that pregnant women who developed corona symptoms had a higher percentage of emergency complications compared to those who had but had no symptoms.

This study was part of a presentation delivered at the 2021 annual conference of anesthesiologists over the weekend.

An Israeli study revealed: Pregnancy protected women from depression during the corona

Of the 100 Corona-positive mothers who gave birth to babies between March and September last year in one Texas hospital, 58 percent of those with symptoms gave birth in an emergency, according to the study, which has not yet been reviewed by colleagues.

Of those who fell ill but did not experience symptoms, 46 percent underwent an emergency birth.

In addition, mothers who suffered from symptoms also had more emergency complications that posed a danger to the baby.

More infants were born in a breech position, for example, the likelihood of a decrease in fetal movement increased, and some had very little amniotic fluid.

The study also found that infants born to these symptomatic mothers were at higher risk of needing oxygen support and more likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit.

"COVID-19 has serious systemic effects on the body, especially in symptomatic patients," said Christine Lane, a medical student at the University of Texas who helped lead the study.

There is also a possibility, she says, that doctors treating symptomatic patients are wary of the virus and recommend a caesarean birth proactively.

The second study, is an Israeli study reviewed by colleagues and published on Sunday in the Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine. This study examined the effect of corona on women in the third trimester of pregnancy. Scientists examined the records of more than 2,400 women at Maayan Hayeshua Hospital between March and September last year and saw significant differences between the women who had Covid-19 and those who did not. Of the patients found to be positive for corona, 67 percent were asymptomatic.

Women who experienced symptoms had the most problems, found Dr. Elior Eliassi of Maayan Hayeshua Medical Center and colleagues. They had higher rates of gestational diabetes, lower white blood cell counts, and experienced heavier bleeding during childbirth. Their babies also experienced breathing problems. The increased risk of problems was nearly 20 percent higher for women with corona symptoms, and 14 percent higher for women who were not symptomatic.

Unlike the other studies, this study did not find that symptomatic women were significantly more likely to give birth prematurely.

The study has limitations as it only examined women in one hospital, so its findings may not be true for all pregnant women.

These new studies add to the growing body of evidence that corona, especially the symptomatic one, poses a real threat to pregnant women, and they provide further evidence that corona risks are more significant for pregnant women and their infants.
