The case of babies facing Covid-19 worry. But what is it? “The dramas that affect children are immediately very impressive. So when you look at the numbers, fortunately, these exceptional severe cases only occur in a few cases. In an American registry, which covered 3,476 pregnancies from positive mothers, the vast majority were negative. We only have 206 newborns who tested positive. Or 0.006%. And positive does not mean serious form “, detailed the doctor.
Contaminations are therefore possible in utero, but very rare. “You never know around the time of birth when the newborn is infected. What is certain is that during pregnancy, the placenta is a formidable bulwark, particularly in the first and second trimester. That’s why you shouldn’t wait until the third trimester to get vaccinated “, added the doctor, on the 20 Hours set, Monday 23 August.
