Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome
coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a global public health crisis. The increasing mortality rate warrants the identification and protection of vulnerable population in society. The knowledge gained from previous human coronavirus outbreaks, pregnant women, and their fetuses are particularly susceptible to poor outcomes e.g. IUGR, miscarriage, stillbirth, preterm, etc.This study aimed to identify the effect of COVID-19 on the outcome of pregnancy. Objectives: 1. To study the demographic characteristics of COVID-19 positive study participants who were admitted for delivery at tertiary care hospital.2. To evaluate the outcomes of delivery and vertical transmission of COVID-19 in pregnant women. Method: The present hospital based observational study was carried out at a tertiary care teaching hospital in western Maharashtra, from September 2021 to May 2023. All pregnant women admitted to tertiary care hospitals for delivery and willing to give written consent were included in the study. Result: Out of 220 study participants, 157 (71.3%) study participants, belong to the 18 to 25 age groups. In the present study, 212 (96.3%) were live births, 2 (0.9%) were IUDs, and 5 (2.3%) were abortions. Out of 220, 131 (61.5%) weight of the baby after delivery was normal while LBW was seen in 78 (36.7%) and VLBW was seen in 4 (1.8%) study subjects. Of the total swabs tested for COVID-19 infection, 12 (5.8%) were positive, 196 (94.2%) were negative. Conclusion: It is concluded in our study, that vertical transmission of COVID-19 infection from mothers to their babies was very low or negligible.
