A new study on #COVID19 and pregnancy published by the #CDC reports premature births were 25% more likely in patients with #COVID and 300% more likely in those with #coronavirus symptoms.

The researchers looked at medical data on nearly 600 hospital patients between March and mid-August who both tested positive for #COVID and were pregnant.
10 patients experienced miscarriage or stillbirth, but the report noted that it "likely underestimates the percentage of pregnancy losses that occur among women with COVID-19." Five of the pregnancy losses occurred after 20 weeks into the pregnancy.
The report corroborates research published in #JAMA earlier this summer that noted higher instances of preterm labor and c-sections among those with #COVID, as well as "significantly higher" instances of #stillbirth during the #pandemic at a London hospital.
More than half of the patients in the new study had no symptoms of the illness when they were admitted to the hospital.
