Women who had COVID-19 while pregnant showed evidence of placental injury, suggesting a new complication of the illness, according to researchers.
showed evidence of placental injury, suggesting a new complication of the illness, researchers say.
The placenta provides the fetus with nutrients and oxygen from the mother, while at the same time removing waste. Only one baby was born prematurely; 14 others had normal delivery times and weights. One woman suffered a miscarriage in her second trimester. "Even with only half of it working, babies are often completely fine," Miller said in the release."Still, while most babies will be fine, there's a risk that some pregnancies could be compromised."According to the research team, two abnormalities were noted in the placentas studied: abnormal blood vessels involved in the transmission of blood from the mom to the fetus , andan issue.
"Not to paint a scary picture, but these findings worry me," Miller said."I don't want to draw sweeping conclusions from a small study, but this preliminary glimpse into how COVID-19 might cause changes in the placenta carries some pretty significant implications for the health of a pregnancy. We must discuss whether we should change how we monitor pregnant women right now.
