International data revealed that stillbirths and maternal deaths increased by about a third during the Corona pandemic.
Reuters reported that data based on 40 studies conducted in 17 countries around the world showed that pregnancy outcomes in general deteriorated during the pandemic for both children and mothers.
According to the data, closures, disruption of maternity services and fear of going to health care facilities were all factors that increase the risk of pregnancy, which led to worse outcomes in general for women and infants.
Six new studies revealed high rates of postpartum depression, maternal anxiety, or both.
