Does Covid affect babies when the pregnant mother is infected?

Covid can be transmitted from mother to baby even before birth, and several such cases have been reported in Albania. The director of the "Queen Geraldine" Maternity Hospital, Eliona Demaliaj, said that 42 women gave birth when they were with Covid and a small number of babies were positive.

"42 positive women were born for Covid. All is well and their babies are fine. Of which, some babies have tested positive. This means that we can not say absolutely that it can not be transmitted from mother to child ", said Demaliaj for 'TCH'.

Asked if Covid during pregnancy leads to miscarriage or baby malformations, Demaliaj denied such a thing.

"Covid, which affected mothers in the first trimester, did not cause more abortions. We also did not see any malformations in the second trimester, leading us to think that they came as a result of being touched by Covid. Cooperation is needed between the gynecologist and resuscitators or pneumologists, if there is a plenum touch. It is a medication that wants good correlation because we keep in mind that some medications are not approved for use in pregnancy. "We should not be afraid of this," said the director.
